For security reason, the turn-over and the venue were not
made public until after the P100,000 reward from the provincial government and
another P100,000 from the Kabacan town government, was received by the
informant.
Witnessing the turn-over of cash reward here were Mayor
Herlo Guzman Jr. and Supt. Danilo Peralta, provincial police director.
The information led to the arrest of one of the two
suspects, Badrudin Alid, a resident of Kabacan.
A day after the blast atop an over-pass in the town proper
here, Governor Mendoza offered a P100,000 cash bounty to anyone who can provide
information that would lead to the identification and arrest of those
responsible for the bombing.
Mayor Guzman also offered P100,000 to help police fast track
the investigation and give justice to the victims.
Monique Mantawil, a junior Development Communication student
of the University of Southern Mindanao (USM-Kabacan) was among the 17 wounded
when, one of the two improvised explosive device fashioned from 81 mm mortar
and set off using a mobile phone, went off at past 7 p.m. on Nov. 16, a Sunday.
She died the following day while on the way to Davao
The street fronting the Kabacan Central Pilot Elementary
School was bustling with side walk vendors, barbeque stands, ‘ukay-ukay’ (used
clothing) vendors and others when two men arrived, went up the over pass and
left the improvised bombs, according to witnesses.
Minutes later, a powerful explosion ripped through the
overpass filled with passers-by and people taking a birds’ eye view of the busy
main street of Kabacan.
The informant, Supt. Peralta said, has provided the police
with almost accurate information leading to the arrest of Alid.
The informant said he was bothered by his conscience after
learning one student died and 17 others hospitalized, Peralta said.
Peralta said the tipster also named the other suspect who
remains at large.
