What was considered as the deadliest assault to Philippine journalism history?

The deadliest assault in Philippine journalism history is the Maguindanao massacre, which occurred on November 23, 2009. In this horrific incident, 58 people were brutally murdered, including 32 journalists and media workers, as they were part of a convoy traveling to file election-related documents. The massacre was attributed to political rivalry and is widely seen as a stark example of the dangers faced by journalists in the country, highlighting issues of impunity and violence against the media.
