Fernando Batul (24 May 1969 – 22 May 2006), a Filipino journalist and politician, working as a radio broadcaster for the DYPR in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, was known for his commentaries that were critical of politicians, military officials, rival radio commentators and others.
Most of his remarks were made towards the mayor's administration about the quality of governance in Palawan.
He had many supporters, but he angered many with his commentaries.
He was eventually assassinated and shot six times by men on motorcycles while he was driving, just weeks after grenades were found in his home.
