MANAGAYSAY CRIMINAL GROUP PINPOINTED IN BEHEADING OF FARMER;  PhP 1M REWARD MONEY FIXED
+CALBAYOG CITY CITY – A criminal group headed by Jimmy Elbano Managaysay is identified to be responsible in beheading the farmer in Barangay San Jose on May 02, 2018. One million-peso reward awaits for the capture of Managaysay.

The police officers are in continuous hot-pursuit operations against ten (10) criminals headed by Managaysay who are identified by witnesses to be responsible in the early morning attack that led to the shooting and beheading of farmer (56-year old Teodirico Francisco) and wounding of his father (75-year old Rodrigo) in a farmland in Sitio Inacawan, Barangay San Jose, this city. Rodrigo is currently still in the hospital recuperating from gunshot wounds sustained.

Calbayog City Police Chief, Police Superintendent Jose Junar P. Alamo, is quoted in one of the reports saying that Managaysay and his group is believed to be already hiding in one of the mountains in the area because nothing was found by the group of police officers that went to the house of Managaysay in Barangay Villahermosa (also in Lower Happy Valley area) during the conduct of hot pursuit operations.

Subject to four (4) Murder and two (2) Frustrated Murder cases, Jimmy Managaysay is among the eighteen (18) most wanted criminals in the province of Samar. His capture has been earlier up for Php500,000.00-reward until it was later raised to Php700,000.00. After this beheading incident (in May 2, 2018), the reward for whoever can capture or kill him has been raised to Php1M.
