Senator Manny Pacquiao has offered a reward worth PHP 500,000 (AED38,200+) to anyone who could provide information about the suspects behind the alleged rape and murder of flight attendant Christine Dacera.
The 23-year-old flight attendant, who hails from General Santos City—the same hometown of the senator—was found dead in a bathtub at a hotel in Makati last week, with bruises on her body and lacerations in her genital area.
“Nananawagan ako sa lahat ng sangkot sa pagpatay kay Dacera na lumabas. Kung wala kayong kasalanan, linisin niyo pangalan niyo, magsabi kayo. Gagawin natin ang koneksyon natin to resolve this case,” Pacquiao said in an interview on DZRH’s “Dos Por Dos”.
He added that such incident proves the importance of reviving death penalty in the Philippines, saying: “Ayoko sa lahat papatayin na, gagahasain pa kaya isinusulong ko ang death penalty. Kailangan may pamalong matindi ang ating gobyerno.”
