An Appeal to ABS-CBN re Alexis Tioseco and Nika Bohinc Murders
Submitted by noid on September 3, 2009 - 5:06pm. abs-cbn | alexis tioseco | crime | maria ressa | murder | nika bohincI just sent the e-mail message below to Maria Ressa, head of ABS-CBN's News & Current Affairs. I think what I relayed below is a reasonable request from the local filmmaking community. Alexis, after all, was a regular on ABS-CBN's shows, and during the PAGASA forum I mentioned in the letter, Ms. Ressa herself said that ABS-CBN devotes a significant amount of time to crime features precisely to assist the public. If you know of any other way to reach Ms. Ressa, please let me know or feel free to forward the letter below.
