The search for missing Batangueña beauty queen, Catherine Camilon, has escalated with a P250,000 reward being offered for information about her whereabouts.
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) has contributed an additional P50,000 to this reward, while Batangas Vice Gov. Mark Leviste had previously offered P100,000. Other groups have also added to the reward fund with P100,000.
The PAOCC, through its executive director Gilbert Cruz, has engaged with Camilon's family, although specific details about their involvement have not been disclosed.
In response to her disappearance, the Calabarzon police have activated a committee on missing persons to conduct an investigation.
Person of Interest
Moreover, provincial law enforcement has identified a person of interest in connection with her case.
This development came more than a week after Catherine's sister reached out on Facebook, seeking information from her colleagues and friends about her sister's whereabouts.
Brig. Gen. Paul Kenneth Lucas, the regional director of the Philippine National Police-Calabarzon, mentioned in an interview with DZBB Super Radyo on October 22 that the investigation is ongoing. It is too early to draw conclusions about what happened to Catherine.
However, they have identified a person of interest. Due to the sensitivity of the investigation, Lucas did not disclose further details such as where she was last seen or the last location of her phone.
The search for Catherine Camilon continues.
The reward may provide an incentive for people to come forward with information that can help locate her.
