Desidario Camangyan (1952 – June 14, 2010), also called "Jessie", was a radio journalist for Sunrise FM in Mati City in the southern Philippines. He was slain onstage in Manay, Davao Oriental, Mindanao, while hosting a singing contest.[1]

He was the first of three political murders within the span of a week. One day after Camangyan, radio journalist Joselito Agustin of Bacarra was killed at a music event.[2] Later that week print reporter Nestor Bedolido, of the Kastigador, was killed.[3]
