MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Saturday that it rewarded an informant with P420,000 for information that led to the capture of Gilbert Concepcion, a wanted person.
In January, Concepcion, who was the leader of the Concepcion Criminal Gang involved in several crimes in the Bicol Region according to the PNP, was killed in a shootout with the police in Parañaque City.
