Lucky guy, this journalist. Here’s the story:
An editor of a community newspaper in Northern Samar escaped an assassination attempt by a gunman posing as a banana vendor on Monday.
Eladio Perfecto, editor-publisher of Catarman Weekly Tribune, said he was about to board his motorcycle outside his home in Catarman, Northern Samar, when the alleged assassin approached him at around 10 a.m.
Perfecto said the assailant offered to sell him fried bananas, which he refused. The assailant then pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and shot him almost point blank.
“Luckily, the first shot missed,” he said, adding that the gunman’s firearm jammed after the first attempt. He added that the suspect immediately ran off.
This just shows that even in seemingly hopeless situations, one can still escape death and have a new lease on life. This also proves that assassins - no matter how determined they are - do miss.
Off-the-air because it is during these short breaks when a radio announcer sneezes, sips coffee, yells, smokes, stretches and does other things that are better not heard by the radio audience. More importantly, it is while off-the-air that stories behind a story are told, providing the commentator a take off point in the discussion and analysis of an issue — incisively, objectively.
We do not hope to achieve this in this blog. But we will try.
