CEBU, Philippines — A barangay captain and a 33-year-old female believed to be his mistress were arrested for adultery complaint after they were caught in a room in Barangay Bili, Borbon in northern Cebu last Wednesday night.

Police Staff Sergeant Ernesto Pablo, Borbon Police Station desk officer, said that upon the discovery, Comendador got angry and allegedly threatened to kill his wife and daughters.
"Nagdulog gyud kuno daw sila sa balay sa iyang mama," Pablo told The Freeman.
"Sa iya (Comendador) ra pud ning kasuko seguro nga part kay tingali wa ta kabalo," Pablo added on the verbal threat of Comendador to his wife.
