Duterte has raised the bounty to P50 million, which was announced on a taped presser on Friday.

The president even hinted that the reward can jump to P100 million.

“I am raising the bounty to P 50 million…because it is a collegial thing,” the president said.

“Baka sa ligaya ko another P50 million. Kung maligaya ako masyado e di P100 (million), puro kayo milyonaryo. Huwag kayo mahiya tanggapin.“
