BACOLOD CITY – The National Bureau of Investigation has recovered the Mango Harvesters painting by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo in Manila, eight days after it was stolen from a private museum in Silay City, Negros Occidental on July 3.

Police Lt. Col. Mark Anthony Darroca, Silay police chief, flew to Manila on Friday, July 12, after he learned that the 1936 masterpiece was recovered on Thursday night, July 11.

Darroca said that the NBI launched an entrapment operation leading to the arrest of a man and a woman. He, however, could not disclose other details, pending his meeting with the NBI in Manila. Police identified one of the suspects through the help of a pedicab driver who transported them to the Silay Public Plaza.

In a Facebook post, the National Museum of the Philippines said that Director-General Jeremy Barns personally inspected the painting turned over by the NBI for assessment.
