Police authorities made public Wednesday the computer-generated facial photos of three suspects who carried out the deadly Aug. 5 car bomb attack here that killed eight victims and wounded 30 others.
Sr.
Supt. Rolen Balquin, city police director, though did not name the suspects as
not to jeopardize their ongoing manhunt operation.
“Rest
assured we know their identities,” said Mayor Japal Guiani Jr., who was with
Balquin and Col. Custodio Parcon Jr. of the Philippine Marine Battalion Landing
Team 1 during the city peace and order council meeting held Wednesday at the
city hall.
Guiani
said the unspecified amount of bounty he is offering for the suspects’ capture
stays.
“We
want to get them (suspects) alive as possible for they would be instrumental in
pointing to their masterminds and strengthen our case against them,” he
stressed.
The
mayor also maintained that he has managed to obtain all the documents
containing the exchange of text messages between the bombers and masterminds
that led to the bomb attack.
City
Administrator Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi, the mayor’s sister and alleged target of
the attack, said she would like all those involved be imprisoned soon to give
justice to those who died and hurt in the incident.
She
said the city government is trying its best to bolster its intelligence
capabilities in cooperation with the village leaders to avoid a repetition of
the Aug. 5 attack.
Sayadi’s
bulletproof vehicle was passing along Sinsuat
Avenue , the city’s main thoroughfare, when the car
bomb went off with its impact ripping through a busy section of the highway,
instantaneously killing five of the victims.
Sayadi
was not hurt in the incident.
“We
need every help we can from the communities despite our meager intelligence
budget of some P207,000 monthly,” Sayadi said as she clarified that the big
chunk of the city’s regular budget always go to basic public services.
