Flores is on the national list of Most Wanted Persons with a P250,000 reward on his head.
The suspect was served his warrant of arrest and is currently detained in the Regional Special Operations Group’s detention facility. “I am overwhelmed with their extraordinary feat that after 22 years of hiding before the law, the accused is now apprehended and the victims and their families will be catered with justice,” Brig. Gen. Jonnel C. Estomo, NCRPO chief.
“I admire the dedication of our operating units in the fight against all forms of criminality particularly on the arrest of Most Wanted Person. What they have achieved is a remarkable accomplishment on our part and a relief to all the victims of this person,” he added. The Dacer-Corbito double murder case was highly controversial, as it implicated several persons in power, including then-President Joseph Estrada and former Sen. Panfilo Lacson, who was then chief of the Philippine National Police.
