Mayor Rodrigo Duterte hinted that a Davao Congressman, who hired retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan as a consultant, must have known something about the killing of Davao broadcaster Ferdinand “Batman” Lintuan.
Known to Davao media as “Batman,” short for “Batang Mandaya,” (Mandaya child) Fernando Lintuan was laid to his grave on Sunday. Lintuan is the 5th journalist murdered in the country this year. He was shot dead on Christmas eve as he was leaving his radio station, DXGO, right after his radio program, “Ligas Paka” (one slip and you are dead). He left behind four children, aged 21, 18, 14 and 10. (davaotoday.com photos by Cheryll D. Fiel)
