MANGALDAN- Bounty hunters are now being eyed to help in the arrest of the four Magdalo escapees.  

This became evident after Philippine National Police chief Director General Arturo Lomibao said that the PNP is contemplating to put up a reward system to speed up the arrest of four Magdalo mutineers who escaped from their confinement at  Fort Bonifacio. 

Lomibao announced this in a talk to newsmen when he was guest of honor and speaker during the inauguration of the newly renovated Mangaldan Police Station here on Friday. 

“We are contemplating  P500,000  for each of the four escapees,” Lomibao said when asked about what the PNP is doing in order to have the four military officers namely, Capt. Nathaniel Rebonza and lst Lieutenants Lawrence San Juan, Sonny Sarmiento and Patricio Bumidang, back in government custody. 

All are members of the Magdalo group facing court trial for staging a mutiny two years ago at Oakwood in Makati City. 

Lomibao said the police have printed mug shots of the four which would be placed in population centers like malls, terminals, seaports and airports. 

Asked if the CPP-NPA and the Magdalo group will form a coalition of forces, Lomibao said:” I’ll not be surprised  if they do because the CPP-NPA and the recalcitrant Magdalo mutineers who escaped both want to destabilize the government so that they can take over”. 

 “But of course the PNP and the military will not allow this to happen”, he said. 

At the same time, Lomibao announced that the PNP will go on a legal offensive against the CPP-NPA in the next few weeks. 

He also said the police will file charges against those who attacked police stations, liquidated policemen and conducted offensive against authorities on alleged orders from   Netherlands-based Jose Maria Sison, CPP  founding chairman.
