The fund-raising activity was spearheaded by broadcaster Mariboy Ysibido on his program “Pag-Usapan Natin” which is aired over local radio station 102.5 Care FM.
It was revealed that of the total amount raised, P100,000 came from Rep. Odie Tarriela, P100,000 from Gov. Eduardo Gadiano, P100,000 from Vice Gov. Diana Tayag, and the municipality of San Jose contributed another P100,000. San Jose Mayor Rey Ladaga told reporters Saturday morning that he has ordered police to conduct a speedy and thorough investigation, assuring that the local government will see the case through its resolution.
Investigators said the victim’s neighbors reported a stench coming from the victim's room, which they found suspicious because they have not seen her in the past two days.
