The reward of PHP1 million for information leading to the arrest of Satur Ocampo, Rafael Mariano, Liza Maza and Teodoro Casi\u00f1o should encourage would-be informants to provide relevant information on the whereabouts of these wanted persons,&#8221; Albayalde said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Although the reward offer is not officially part of the government reward program, I must clarify that this is not a dead or alive bounty, but monetary compensation for information provided. At any rate, I would like to reiterate our appeal to the concerned individuals to turn themselves in and face the issue squarely before the bar of justice,&#8221; the PNP chief added.<\/p>\n<p>Albayalde said tracker teams from the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the National Bureau of Investigation are working on leads and expect to obtain positive results soon.<\/p>\n<p>Last July 11, Palayan City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 40 Judge Evelyn Atienza Turla issued an arrest warrant against former Bayan Muna Representatives Ocampo and Casi\u00f1o; Mariano, a former Anakpawis representative and Agrarian Reform secretary and Maza, former Gabriela representative and now head of the National Anti-Poverty Commission.<\/p>\n<p>They were tagged in the abduction and murder of New People&#8217;s Army rebels Danilo Felipe in 2001, Jimmy Peralta in 2003 and Carlito Bayudang in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>The PNP chief added that there will be no special treatment for the said personalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The Philippine National Police (PNP) welcomed the reward offered for information on the whereabouts of progressive leaders, who were &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":170007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-175212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-benjamin-pulta","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
