Grab sets P100,000 reward for info on driver’s killers, carnappers

MANILA, Philippines — Ride-sharing company Grab Philippines on Sunday evening announced that it would provide a P100,000 reward to anyone who could help provide justice to its murdered driver-partner Gerardo Maquidato Jr.

In a Facebook live, Grab's Philippine country manager Brian Cu said he went to the wake of Maquidato and spoke with the victim’s wife. He said Maquidato’s wife is seeking justice for her husband.

Due to this, Cu said Grab set up a P100,000 bounty to help give justice to Maquidato, who died last October 26 in an apparent incident involving bogus passengers.

“As Grab, I am putting out a reward of P100,000 to whoever can provide information that could lead to the capture of the perpetrator,” Cu said.

Cu said the reward applies to anyone who could provide information even the police or other concerned citizens.

The Grab country head said those who have knowledge of the whereabouts of the killers or carnappers who attacked Maquidato may send information to their tip hotline: 0917-617-8731.

“We will continue working with the police and authorities on this matter but I want the coward brought to justice as swiftly as possible,” Cu said.

Cu also challenged the perpetrators saying they would soon be captured since the authorities already have the details of their numbers and the area they stole the vehicle of Maquidato.

He continued to appeal to the public and other driver-partners to cooperate and continue seeking justice for Maquidato.

Grab also said it would impose stiffer measures to ensure that carnapping incidents would no longer happen.
