MANILA, Philippines — Police have offered a P2-million reward for information on the killing of a social media operator, his girlfriend, and his security aide in Bulacan province.
This was announced by PNP spokesperson and Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) Director Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo in a recording sent to reporters on Tuesday.
According to police reports, the individuals were shot dead aboard their vehicle traversing Maharlika Highway in Barangay Capihan, San Rafael town on Friday, March 21.
“We are offering a P2-million reward for whoever can give any information about this incident, especially those involved… in this heinous incident in San Rafael, Bulacan,” Fajardo said in Filipino.
“These are possibly politically motivated killings because, based on information shared with us, one of the victims has been working, at least as a consultant, for well-known political figures there in Bulacan,” she added.
