Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez is offering a P50,000 reward for any information that could lead to solving the killing of a Grade 12 student who was found dead in La Carlota City last week and the arrest of the culprits.
If there is a recommendation from the police to increase the amount he will consider it, Benitez said on Tuesday, August 20.
