ISLAMIC State (IS) terrorist leader Isnilon Hapilon offered millions of pesos to anyone who could help him, his family, and his members escape from the main battle area in Marawi City, Armed Forces Chief Eduardo Año said on Wednesday.

"That was the main plan of Hapilon, to escape from the main battle area along with his remaining members and his family. In fact, he even offered that he will pay millions [of pesos] to anyone who can provide him a banca and that can guide them out from the main battle area," Año said in an interview over Radyo Singko.
