President Duterte has increased the bounty for the arrest of Ako Bicol partylist Rep. Rodel Batocabe’s killer from P30 million to P50 million.
Duterte, during his visit to the wake of the slain lawmaker at the Bicol University in Daraga, Albay, said that he will not allow the government to just sit idly while Batocabe’s killer is still enjoying his freedom.
“I’ll just reiterate my warning that I will not allow – well, as a worker of government also, to just sit on our a** and allow these things to happen. So I’m very much interested in the solution,” he said.
“The reward is at this time is P30 million. I’m raising the ante. I’m putting it at plus P20 million to P50 million. Ang sabihin mo lang, tip lang. Bigyan mo isang tip lang,” he added.
“Huwag mong ibulgar. Huwag kang magbigay ng pangalan. Text mo lang.”
Duterte said he has a reason to suspect that a politician whom he did not identify may have a motive to kill Batocabe and he will personally confront him once he gets evidence.
“I have my reasons also to suspect the guy. Huwag mong gawain ‘yan kasi hindi lahat tao matatakot nang ganun. Kaya ‘pag ikaw ang natamaan nito, babalik ako dito, pahiyain kita,” he said.
“You know what, akyatin kita sa bahay mo, sampalin kita. Kung gusto mong subukan, gagawa ka pa ng isang kalokohan,” he added.
“Ngayon, ‘pag napundi ako sa’yo, p***** i** mo babarilin kita. Kung ‘yan ang paraan lang para magkaroon tayo ng kapayapaan, na peaceful election then do not f*** the system. Better behave.” (Argyll Geducos)
