According to the report, the Radyo Todo Aklan station manager Jonathan Cabrera said that they have yet to find out why Cortez sent these to Indelible. He added that they are used to threats and will continue their job.
“But we are not new to threats. It is part of the job. We will continue to do our jobs,” Cabrera said Thursday.
Cabrera reiterated that instead of death threats, people could file complaints if they were not satisfied with the reporting or were offended by the comments made on the air, adding the he believes in the “rule of law.”
He added that the radio management has tightened up the security measures at the radio station to prevent these people from sending threats and to stay radio reporters away from possible dangers.
