Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said on Wednesday that the reward for the Tiamzon couple has been upgraded to P10 million each, significantly higher than the P5.6 million earlier reported.
"The reward for Benito and Wilma Tiamzon was upgraded to P10 million each since November 2012. This is based on the Joint Committee (which is composed of the AFP and the Philippine National Police). This is because of their position as they are the chair and secretary general of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army, respectively," he added.
Tutaan said the reward for the Tiamzon couple falls under AFP-PNP Joint Circular Number 2006-1 which stipulates monetary rewards for people whose information can lead to the capture or neutralization of ranking rebel leaders.
The couple were arrested by government security forces last March 22 in
