Rodolfo Tanquis, a 50 year-old blocktime commentator of DxFL FM 88.9 in Dipolog
City, was arrested inside the announcer’s booth by Dipolog City Police Director
Supt Reynaldo Maclang Friday morning, May 3, 2013.
Mitchel Bala, a colleague of Tanquis in the
said radio station, narrated that “Tanquis was on board that time when he was
forced by two of Maclang’s men to proceed to the police station because they
are filing a libel case against our colleague.”
Tanquis hosts a daily radio program, Isyu
Karon (Current Issues), from 6 am to 7 am. Tanquis’ listeners was left with
nothing but dead air when Tanquis was arrested at about 6:30 am.
“We were scared,” Bala, who holds the
program Headline Balita at 8 am, said.
“We didn’t know what to do. Maclang and his
men trooped to the station, locked the booth, said his piece on air,”Bala said,
“and his men barred the technician from entering the booth,” he added.
“Our colleague questioned Maclang on the
number of unresolved killings. In turn, Maclang took offense, slammed hi cal
.45 pistol (on the table) and informed Tanquis that he is filing a libel case,”
Bala said.
“We are scared because he arrested our
colleague even when he has yet to file a libel case,” Bala said.
Police Chief Supt Juanito Vano, Jr.,
Western Mindanao Police Director, said Maclang did not arrest Tanquis.
“Maclang went to the (radio) station to
explain his side over accusations that he is behind the 19 killings in Dipolog.
There was some kind of Q and A and after the radio program Maclang invited
Tanquis to the police station in Dipolog City to file charges against Tanquis
regarding his accusations,” Vano said.
Vano said Maclang “would just like to clear
his name.”
As of 9:37 pm Friday, May 3, Bala said Tanquis is still detained at the police station.
