“The accused as you may know is also a police officer, he has certain networks within the police, which makes it a little bit tricky,” replied Clavano.
“I’m not saying it has impeded in any way our investigation or the attempt to arrest Bantag, it’s just that the public themselves, as the source of the funds, has also put emphasis upon resolving this case,” he also explained over ANC.
“It’s a very important case that involves media freedom, freedom of speech, and the right of citizens to life, so others see the importance in the gravity of this case, that’s why they came forward to assist,” he said.On Monday, the DOJ announced that a P2-million reward will be given to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of Bantag. It added that another P1-million bounty is raised for the arrest of Zulueta.
