The PNP has placed a P50-million bounty on Dela Rosa, emphasizing the urgency of his capture. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered an escalated manhunt but urged law enforcement to prioritize safety.
Col. Co described the one-week ultimatum for Dela Rosa's surrender as a gesture of goodwill, highlighting the PNP's preference for a peaceful resolution.
The deadline for Dela Rosa to surrender is set for Thursday, October 29. Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla indicated that the senator is reportedly sheltered by a well-financed, heavily armed group in Mindanao.
