Later on the same day, two other persons identified as Jerry Mari Cheng and Zhuang Guangdong arrived at the Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) compound inside the NCRPO headquarters in Camp Bagong Diwa.
Cheng handed over two black paper bags containing P3 million to Zhuang, who in turn approached a police officer and offered the money in exchange for the release of individuals under custody.
The RSOG officers rejected the offer and arrested Zhuang while Cheng managed to escape after handing over the paper bag.
