A big-time developer on Wednesday came forward to offer a P3-million cash reward to anyone who could give information on the identity of the mastermind and gunman who tried to kill him in his own home in Pampanga.
At the weekly Kamuning Bakery forum in Quezon City, Jeffrey Dizon, a 48-year-old real-estate developer of St. Catherine Realty, said he is giving the reward “because I am facing a blank wall as to who the perpetrators of the crime are.”
“I am not accusing anyone. I do not have the evidence yet,” Dizon said.
He said he fears for the life of his three children. “I know if I die, my children’s lives would be put in danger.”
Dizon is a scion of a wealthy family who owns various real-property developments and belongs to a political clan.
He is the eldest son of the founders of St. Catherine Realty in Angeles City, Pampanga.
Dizon said that he stepped out of his house due to a poor cellphone signal when he was shot by an unknown man.
“Luckily, the bullet missed to hit me. I have no known enemy,” he said, adding that “the attempt to kill me did not only happen once.”
The Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption has stepped into the picture to help Dizon identify those behind the attempt to kill him and establish the motive.
"We took recognition of the case after documents and pieces of evidence were presented to us. We found there is sufficient basis to assist him," VACC chairperson Arsenio Evangelista said.
He welcomed the P3-million offer, saying cash rewards have solved crimes and led to the arrest of the suspects.
