-

The reward for any informatio­n on the whereabout­s of murder suspect Jessie Largo is now P200,000, up from P50,000. The Talisay City Government hopes this will encourage members of the public who have any informatio­n to go to the police; that way, the murder of John Ronli Calizar 42 days ago will finally be solved. In a GMA 7 Balitang Bisdak report, Ferliza Contratist­a, Calizar’s mother, said she no longer trusts the police as it took them a long time to arrest Largo. But Mayor Eduardo Gullas said he still has faith in the authoritie­s despite reports that some of them are protecting Largo. He urged the Talisay City police chief to prioritize Calizar’s case.

Mother of murder victim says she no longer trusts the police, who still have to arrest her son’s kllers.

The Talisay City Government is now offering a reward of P200,000 for those who can provide informatio­n on the whereabout­s of murder suspect Jessie Largo.

In a press conference yesterday, Mayor Eduardo Gullas announced that he has increased the reward money from P50,000 to P200,000 to help police get more informatio­n on Largo’s location and finally solve the murder of John Ronli Calizar.

The increase in the reward money offered by the Talisay City Government came 42 days after Calizar died.

In a GMA 7 Balitang Bisdak report, Ferliza Contratist­a, Calizar’s mother, said she no longer trust the police as it took them a long time to arrest Largo.

Mayor Gullas, however, said he trusts the police despite reports that some police officers are allegedly protecting Largo.

He also urged Supt. Jason Villamater, Talisay City police chief, to prioritize Calizar’s case.

Gullas refused to set a time frame for Villamater and his personnel to solve the case, saying he trusts the police official to solve the case as soon as possible.

Almost two months ago, Largo and an unidentifi­ed companion shot and killed Calizar inside the boarding house of his girlfriend in Barangay Lawaan 1, Talisay City.
