Consignado, 50, was a vegetable farmer and a reporter on community affairs for the Roman Catholic radio station. Colleagues at Radio Veritas said Consignado's slaying might have been related to his reporting a few years ago on illegal gambling and anomalies in local road construction projects, according to a local news report. Police cited Consignado's recent involvement in a land dispute as a possible motive, and said that he was overheard arguing with a relative shortly before a neighbor found him dead, according to local news reports.
