President Rodrigo Duterte has increased the bounty to Php7 million for anyone who can capture the killers of four police officers in Negros Oriental.
He also ordered a non-stop attack to communists in the area.
“Walang hintuan. Magpalit-palit ‘yung isang battalion diyan na walang gamit na wala masyadong kalaban ‘yang ano. Pagka-bone-weary na ang mga sundalo, palit na naman. Tuloy-tuloy,” the President told the media in Malacañang.
The government says that the New People’s Army ( NPA) allegedly tortured and killed at Ayungon town in Negros Oriental last July
.
“May promise ako, ‘di ba? P6 million na. Oh, P7 million na ngayon (I made a promise, didn’t I? It’s P6 million but I raise it to P7 million now),” the President said.
“Hanapin talaga ninyo ang totoo. Ang gawain lang ninyo, putulin ninyo ‘yung ulo, ilagay ninyo sa box, ‘yang styrofoam, lagyan ninyo ng ice, at dalhin mo dito kay magtawag tayo ng press con,” Duterte added.
