Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte has raised to P 3-million the reward money for the arrest of the main suspect in the explosion that rocked Davao City last Friday night.
The mayor said the additional amount came from the donations of a businessman and a law firm.
Although the suspect could be connected to an extremist group, Magalong said they are not ruling out narcopolitics as one of the motives in the attack.
The City Government of Davao has increased by P1 million the reward for anyone who could present information on the culprits behind last Friday’s bombing of the Roxas night market.
Police Regional Office 11 director Manuel Gaerlan said the sketch was based on the description of the witnesses.
Lawyer Raul Nadela Jr., chief of staff of Mayor Sara Duterte, said families those killed received P40,000 each, which totaled to P560,000.

The balance would be allocated to pay for the food expenses, meal allowances for the watchers of patients, hospital bills, and burial of the victims.
