Rewards also helping AFP in running after threat groups

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 6): Rewards also helping AFP in running after threat groups

Aside from intensified law enforcement operations, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is also neutralizing various threat groups in the country by giving monetary rewards to informants who provide exact descriptions and whereabouts of these wanted personalities.

This was stressed by AFP public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato as the military will be handing out substantial rewards to persons who provided information which led to the successful arrest of ranking New People's Army (NPA) leader Benito Tiamzon in March 22 of last year and several Abu Sayyaf terrorists.

Bounties range from Php150,000 to Php10 million, he added.

Friday's reward giving ceremonies will take place 3: 30 p.m. at the OJ2 multi-purpose hall, ISAFP compound, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

Detoyato said the reward money for Tiamzon took tim as a lot of paperworks needed to be process aside from authentication of supporting documents.

But he clarified that not all people were after the reward as some of these individuals were only looking after the welfare of their respective communities.

The rewards program is orchestrated by the AFP thru the AFP-PNP Joint Rewards Valuation Committee (JRVC), which is co-chaired by the AFP Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, J2, and Philippine National Police.
