A rebel returnee wanted for his involvement in the 2003 killing of Monkayo, Compostela Valley Mayor Joel Brillantes learned this lesson when his drinking buddies, who had had enough of his bragging, tipped off police about him.


A belated report reaching the Caraga police said a combined team of the Tago and provincial police arrested Cirilo Losdo Engrova, 41, in Barangay Somo-Somo in Tago, Surigao del Sur last Thursday night.

The four suspects, whose identities have been withheld, were reportedly the ones who got in touch with gunman Aniceto Dejeto Sr. before he carried out his mission to kill Brillantes.


Dejeto, a barangay tanod in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte, was said to be a gun-for-hire.

The assailants: unknown trigger-happy texters in this city.


Cellphone messages alleging that this city’s mayor, Benjamin Lim, was killed in an ambush in Tarlac spread like wildfire here from Sunday afternoon to dawn yesterday, causing alarm among the local police and Lim’s staff.


The rumors came at the heels of the recent slaying of Monkayo, Compostela Valley Mayor Joel Brillantes in a Davao City cockpit last Saturday and the killing of Tayug, Pangasinan Mayor Guerrero Zaragoza a week ago.
