ZAMBOANGA CITY: An informant, who reportedly helped the military in last month’s operation in Sulu, which led to the death of Abu Sayyaf leader Alhabsy Misaya, received a P1 million cash reward on Friday, Maj. Gen. Carlito Galvez, the commander of the Western Mindanao Command based here, said Saturday. Galvez said the identity of the tipster and of the group that raised the reward would not be divulged. Misaya, a native of Barangay (village) Bunot in Indanan, was a former Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighter. Misaya was also involved in several kidnapping incidents the Abu Sayyaf has pulled off, including the abduction of seven Indonesian seamen off Simisa Island in Sulu on June 22, 2016. This gesture is truly a manifestation of his love for his home province, Sulu and his intent of helping the place to be free from the terror brought about by the Abu Sayyaf,” he added.
