Joselito Agustin (1972-73 – June 16, 2010), also known as Aksyon Lito, was a Filipino journalist who worked for the DZJC radio station in Baccara, Ilocos Norte, on the island of Luzon, Philippines. He was an important journalist in the local community and often showed no fear of political flak and was killed.[1][2][3][4]

Augustin's death occurred within days of two other murders of Filipino journalists. Just one day before Augustin, Desidario Camangyan who did political reports for Sunrise FM in Mati, Davao Oriental, was killed. Later that week Nestor Bedolido, of the Kastigador, which was a weekly, was killed.[5]
