At the same time, incidents involving foreign journalists, including an attack today on a British TV reporter working for ITV, shows that the security services are still preventing the foreign press from working freely. http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=28130 http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=28112 Radio Mindanao Network talk show host Dennis Cuesta died on 9 August from the injuries he received when a gunman shot him five times in a shopping mall in General Santos City on the southern island of Mindanao on 4 August.
