A P100,000 reward was offered on Tuesday for information that would lead to the arrest of the suspect in the killing of the father of international singing sensation Charice Pempengco. Chief Superintendent Ferdie Kraft, police chief of San Pedro town in Laguna where the crime was committed, said local authorities offered the reward to effect the immediate arrest of suspect Angel Capili, who allegedly stabbed Ricky Pempengco shortly before midnight on Monday. San Pedro Mayor Calixto Cataquiz gave P50,000 as reward while Laguna Governor Jeorge Ejercito Estregan Jr. offered P30,000, according to Kraft. The remaining P20,000 came from the Laguna provincial police, he added. Kraft likewise said that local cops have proceeded to Cavite province to look for Capili after they failed to locate the suspect near the crime scene in Barangay Laram in San Pedro town. He added that Capili remains to be their primary suspect, since witnesses have positively identified him as the one who stabbed the elder Pempengco.
