Former President Rodrigo Duterte gave a P500,000 reward to the eyewitness who provided information to track the driver of a pickup truck who ended the life of a woman in Davao City.
The victim, Ana Mae Talili, 22, passed away on January 26, 2023, while crossing the McArthur Highway.
According to the authorities, the suspect, who was using the vehicle owned by a Vice Mayor, also disregarded the traffic light.
Authorities also identified the suspect as Jester Yucosing, who had already surrendered to them after hiding for several days.
Meanwhile, the former President also rewarded the witness saying that he decided to pledge money to find the suspect because he disliked people trying to escape their liability.
“Galit ako sa babangain mo tapos tatakbuhan mo.. ‘Yang hit and run ayaw ko non,” the former President said.
Duterte who’s also the former mayor of Davao City pledged money to the family of the victim.
Meanwhile, the family of the victim was glad that Yucosing was already behind the bars.
