The group took exception to Salido’s calling the victim "just one disc jockey, a person that plays popular music on FM radio station," and "not a journalist." The NUJP has slammed President Aquino for giving a ''blanket insinuation that these murders were prodded by motives other than the victims' work." A report from GMA News said Presidential Spokesperson Herminio Coloma Jr. had sent a text message to reporters saying, "We condemn the killing of Mr. Richard (Nadjid). We have already ordered the police to identify, arrest, and hold accountable, those involved with the crime." The Center for Community Journalism and Development, a media development organization, also condemned the killing saying, "CCJD joins other voices in calling for an end to the insidious and continuing attacks to silence the press. The irony of the latest killing should not be missed and should instead serve as a reminder that in this country where democracy and the rule of law are supposedly thriving, there is a need for continuing vigilance and resistance against the erosion of press freedom."
