CAPIZ – Dumarao town’s Mayor Mateo Hachuela is offering a P100,000 reward to whoever could identify the person/s who lobbed a grenade outside his residence over the weekend.
In an interview with Bombo Radyo-Roxas, Hachuela believed the grenade-throwing was politically motivated.
The grenade exploded but no one was injured. It was lobbed while the town was celebrating its annual religious fiesta.
A safety lever of what was believed to be an M26 grenade was recovered.
