Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliament member Dr. Kadil Sinolinding Jr. has offered a PHP200,000 reward money for the identification and immediate arrest of the grenade thrower at his office here recently.
“This is also to help speed up the solving of the case. I have no known enemies,” Sinolinding, an ophthalmologist, told reporters here Wednesday.
On Oct. 12, a motorcycle-riding man was captured on closed-circuit television footage stopping in front of Sinolinding’s office parliament office along Moon Street, Barangay Rosary Heights 8, at 10 p.m. and tossing a hand grenade before speeding off.
Nobody was hurt in the ensuing explosion. Sinolinding, who was not in his office during the attack, described the incident as a form of harassment to scare him.
He cited politics and work as possible motives behind the attack.
Sinolinding, also the regional health minister, was appointed by BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim early this year.
He instituted drastic reforms in the BARMM’s Ministry of Health and got rid of the office of non-performing contracts of service workers.
“It was not me who will be affected by this attack but the Bangsamoro people I am serving,” he added.
Despite the bomb attack, Sinolinding said he will not be cowed and will continue his duty in the regional government. (PNA)
