“Grabe na yung patayan doon . We have a village, or a barangay captain, a municipal mayor, four policemen, and a lawyer. The President doesn’t want this to happen. He wants it stopped and the only way to do that is to use his emergency powers,” he added. “From the judgment of the President, it appears to be so . Especially, he mentioned last night that mas maraming sumusuporta ngayon sa mga NPA . They’re taking advantage doon nga sa pagkakagulo ng mga away sa lupa ,” Panelo said.
On Thursday, President Duterte raised the reward money to P5 million for the capture, dead or alive, of the killers of the Negros policemen, and to P100,000 for every participant in the killing.
