Gumama, upon receipt of the marked money, was quick to run-away when he sensed the presence of a team of police within the premises of his house.

By-standers said that the suspect was seen running thru the roofs of houses in the neighborhood while the police chased him.

Heavy rains aggravated the difficulty of the search for the eluding suspect but soaking wet in the rain did not make the police force give-up until finally, after about two hours of chase and search, the suspect was located allegedly hiding in the kitchen of a neighbor’s house.

Seized from the suspect’s house were allegedly several heat-sealed plastic sachets containing different quantities of suspected shabu, several bills and coins including the marked money, used lighter and other paraphernalia.

The suspect informed the Calbayog Journal that he is self-employed engaged in the cellphone business where he gets income to support and sustain his family – wife and 4 children.

Four days earlier, on January 30, 2015, Rolando Baldomaro, also known as Rolly Burca, 40 years old, married and a motorcab driver was reportedly also caught selling the prohibited substance in broad day light in Purok 3, Barangay Rawis.
