“Walang konsensiya ang gumawa ng ganitong karumal-dumal at kalunos-lunos na krimen,” said Tulfo.
“Kaya ako po ay magbibigay ng P1 milyong pabuya sa ikadarakip ng suspek. Basta sigurado ako na talagang ang may sala ang madarakip at mapananagot,” he added.
The statement said that the senator’s office would only be provided with information to help apprehend the culprit.
