Romeo Olea (1962 – June 13, 2011) was a Filipino radio commentator who worked for DWEB-FM in Iriga City, Philippines, prior to his being ambushed, receiving two shots in the back as he rode his motorcycle to work.
According to the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, Olea’s murder marked the sixth media–related death under President Benigno Aquino, and the 145th since 1986 when democracy was restored. It was also the second killing of a DWEB radio broadcaster within a year.
