The Assassination of Percy (Lapid) Mabasa
Episode 14
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
In this, sadly, last episode of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast (for now), we look at the assassination of veteran broadcaster Percy Mabasa — better known as Percy Lapid. His killing in 2022 sent shockwaves through Philippine media, exposed a tangled network of alleged corruption, and raised urgent questions about the safety of journalists who dare to speak truth to power.In this episode, I walk you through the case: the planning, the attack, the claims and counter-claims that followed, and why the investigation gripped — and frustrated — so many Filipinos. As Lagim goes on hiatus, I wanted to feature a story that reflects exactly why this podcast exists: to shine a light on injustice, to remember victims, and to interrogate the systems that allow violence to thrive.Thank you for listening, for supporting independent storytelling, and for being part of this community.Until next time — ingat lagi.Support me through gifts and donations at BuyMeCoffee.To never miss any Lagim update, please sign up to my newsletter.LAGIM is on TikTok, so make sure to check me out:Subscribe to LAGIM's YouTube channel:Follow, rate and review LAGIM on Apple Podcasts and Spotify:Sources are here.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime--5701073/support.
