This time, worker nabbed for offering P100-M bounty to kill Duterte

MANILA, Philippines — A construction worker was arrested on Tuesday night in Aklan province after posting on Facebook that he will give a P100 million reward to anyone who can kill President Rodrigo Duterte.

The suspect was identified as Ronald Quiboyen, 40, according to a report from Malapay Municipal police station on Wednesday.

Police probers said they received a tip on Tuesday morning about Quiboyen’s post on his Facebook account: “‘Yong 50-milyon nyo doblihin ko, gawin kung 100-milyon kung sino makapatay kay Duterte. Andito ako ngayon sa Boracay.”

(That P50 million bounty, I will double that and make it P100 million for those who can kill Duterte. I am here in Boracay.)

With this, a joint operation was launched against Quiboyen by Police Col. Columbo Allan Aberia of Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 6, Lt. Col. Gervacio Balmaceda Jr., chief of Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Regional Field Unit 6, and Malay police chief Lt. Col. Jonathan Pablito.
