PNoy announces P10-million bounty for Napoles arrest

MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE - 12:25 p.m.) President Benigno Aquino III announced on Wednesday a P10-million bounty on fugitive businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles, who is at the center of a P10-billion scam involving government pork barrel funds.

"Ten million pesos ang (is the) reward for information leading to the arrest of Napoles," Aquino said at the sidelines of the 8th East Asia Conference on Competition Law and Policy at the Sofitel Hotel in Pasay City.

He said the reward was only for Napoles, not for her brother Reynald Lim.

The siblings went into hiding two weeks ago after a Makati trial court issued a warrant for their arrest for serious illegal detention charges brought against her Benhur Luy, a former associate who blew the whistle on the pork barrel scam.

"Ang harboring of fugitive, kaso 'yun, ang obstruction of justice, kaso din 'yun ... kung akala nila titigilan ang paghahanap, nagkakamali sila. We're confident, malapit-lapit na natin mahahabol 'yan (Harboring a fugitive is one case, obstruction of justice is another case … if they think we will stop looking for them, they are mistaken. We’re confident we will catch them soon)," Aquino said.

The bounty on Napoles was announced a day after Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the siblings had been added to the government’s list of prominent fugitives formerly known as the “Big 5” -- retired Army general Jovito Palparan, former Palawan governor Joel Reyes and his brother Mario, former Dinagat congressman Ruben Ecleo, and businessman Delfin Lee -- none of whom have been arrested.
