MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) is working with ASEAN countries to help locate former Palawan governor Joel Reyes and his brother who are wanted for the killing of broadcaster and environmentalist Gerry Ortega on Jan. 24, 2011.
Director Samuel Pagdilao Jr., chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, said the CIDG, the PNP’s investigating arm, has been exerting efforts to locate Reyes and his brother Coron town Mayor Mario Reyes.
