A reward of P250,000 is now being offered for information regarding the whereabouts of Catherine Camilon, a Miss Grand Philippines contestant who was reported missing on October 12.
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) has contributed an additional P50,000 to this reward, while Batangas Vice Gov. Mark Leviste previously offered P100,000. Various other groups have also chipped in with P100,000.
Gilbert Cruz, the executive director of the PAOCC, stated that the organization has engaged with Camilon’s family but did not disclose specific details.
In response to her disappearance, the Calabarzon police have activated a committee on missing persons to conduct an investigation.
Person of interest
Furthermore, provincial law enforcement has accordingly identified a person of interest in connection with Catherine Camilon’s disappearance.
This development emerged more than a week after Catherine’s sister reached out on Facebook, seeking information from her colleagues and friends about her sister’s whereabouts.
Police Brigadier General Paul Kenneth Lucas, the regional director of the Philippine National Police-Calabarzon, provided an update on the case during an interview with DZBB Super Radyo on October 22.
He mentioned that the investigation is ongoing, and it’s too early to draw conclusions about what happened to Catherine.
However, they have identified a person of interest he said but due to the sensitivity of the investigation, Lucas did not disclose further details about the case, such as where she was last seen or the last location of her phone.
