KALIBO, Aklan – The ruling local coalition Tibyog Akean is offering as much as P50,000 as reward for any information that will lead to the arrest of those behind the shooting of the house of Aklan Vice Gov. Ronquillo Tolentino last week.
“The informants could report it to the police authorities who are mobilizing their intelligence that will lead to the identification of the suspect,” Tolentino, who is seeking reelection under Tibyog Akean and Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD).
Tolentino is optimistic that the case would soon be solved after the offering of the cash reward and the identities of the informants will be protected.
Senior Supt. Benigno Durana Jr., acting Aklan police director, said “he instructed his investigators to coordinate their efforts to come up with a thorough investigation that will lead to the arrest of the suspects behind the strafing of the house of Tolentino”
“I have security at home. The Kalibo PNP vehicle passes by every hour in our residence,” Tolentino added.
Initial investigation showed that the incident happened at around 10:30 p.m last Wednesday. It was learned that the gunman knocked at the gate of the Tolentino residence at Capitol Subd. here about 150 meters from the Aklan capitol.
