Cebu City Mayor-elect Tomas Osmeña kept his promise and more.
He personally handed PHP20,000 cash to PO3 Julius Regis who shot two robbery suspects.
The mayor earlier made an announcement that he is offering PHP50,000 to individuals who can kill criminals, including those involved in drugs and theft.
Regis is rewarded for shooting two robbers along Archbishop Reyes Avenue on Monday, May 20. Both were injured.
Osmeña emphasized that the PHP50,000 reward is only for those who can kill criminals. For wounding criminals, the prize is much lower at PHP5,000.
Regis got PHP5,000 per injured robber and an additional PHP10,000 for working off duty.
As Osmeña said, “It’s not completely his fault that Perpetual resuscitated the robber.”
