MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 President Rodrigo Duterte has increased anew the bounty for the capture \u2018dead or alive\u2019 of those who killed four police personnel in Ayungon, Negros Oriental from PHP3 to PHP5 million, Malaca\u00f1ang announced on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to inform the public that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has raised the reward money to PHP5 million for the capture, dead or alive, of the killers of the Negros policemen and to PHP100,000 for every participant in the killing,\u201d Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Panelo said Duterte has also issued a stern warning \u201cthat members of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Negros have gone overboard and that their killings have become brazen and unbridled where men in uniform, as well as civilians are murdered with impunity\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe land disputes in Negros have escalated to killings among – and between – the claimants. The communist rebels have exploited the land unrest and turned the province into a quasi-state. They have arbitrarily chosen who will own the lands subject of the controversies surrounding them,\u201d Panelo added.<\/p>\n

He said the Chief Executive warned the enemies of the state in the island of Negros \u201cthat he will use his emergency powers under the Constitution to quell the lawless violence engulfing the island, as well as to crush all forms of threats aimed to destroy the government\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President will obey the constitutional command to serve and protect the Filipino people at any cost, and to fiercely save the Republic from imminent ruin,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President vows to replicate the atrocious acts done by the communist rebels to the civilians, the barangay officials and the law enforcers against these murderers in defense of our countrymen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On July 25, Duterte raised the reward for the third time to PHP3 million. He earlier offered a PHP1 million reward for the capture of the killers but later increased it to PHP2 million.<\/p>\n

The slain cops were Cpl. Relebert Beronio, Pat. Raffy Callao, Pat. Ruel Cabellon, and Pat. Marquino de Leon who are all intelligence personnel from the 704th Mobile Force Company Regional Mobile Force Battalion of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Central Visayas.<\/p>\n

The four cops were on their way to the detachment at Sitio Nabinca on July 18 when armed men suspected members of the New People\u2019s Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) shot them in different parts of their bodies.<\/p>\n

The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
