The militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) conveyed its condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Campilan. Renato Reyes, Bayan spokesman, disclosed that before becoming a reporter for GMA 7, Campilan was a member of the League of Filipino Students (LFS) in Cebu. "We remember Dan for covering major rallies and mobilizations this year such as the State of the Nation Address (SONA) and the Sept. 21 protest against political killings. He was conscientious in his coverage of rallies, paying attention to speeches and not minding the difficulties of rain, long marches and even violent dispersals by the police. It was at the Sept. 21 rally where we last saw Dan", Bayan said in a statement. Dr. Jose Tito Marasigan, attending physician, said Campilan was taken to San Lorenzo General Hospital following the crash at 6:10 A.M. but he succumbed to death around 7:40 A.M. Radio station DZBB said that Campilan's remains will be brought home to Cebu after two days.
