‘The constitution stresses a Malay-Malaysia’, said two-time prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, as he predicted Anwar Ibrahim’s government would ‘collapse’ if it didn’t follow the Democratic Action Party’s ‘manifesto’.

A 19-year-old man was arrested in a buy-bust operation by the members of the Mabolo Police Station and the City Intelligence Unit of the Cebu City Police Office at 10:30 p.m. on Monday, July 3, 2023 in Sitio Persimon. Lahing-lahing, Barangay Mabolo, Cebu City.

The suspect was identified as Reymart Badju Sayson alias Mamart, a resident of the said place.

Seized from him were packs of suspected shabu worth P37,060 and a .38 revolver.

According to Police Major Eraño Regidor, the head of Mabolo Police Station, Mamart has a reputation for being so tough that even his neighbors are terrified of him.

Before the buy-bust operation, the members of Special Weapons and Tactics and Mabolo Police Station received reports in the afternoon that Sayson shot another drug personality in the area only known as Askal but the latter managed to run.

Responding policemen recovered an empty shell of .45 pistol from the crime scene.

They, however, did not recover the .45 pistol used in the shooting.

“Usa pd ning bataa sa problema sa tanod sa Mabolo kay mahadlok sila kay armado, naa daw ni 38 ug caliber .45, ang 38 ra amo nakuha, Amo follow up karon ang cal. 45 ky naa daw gibilin ni certain Fredo usa ka gwardiya.,” according to Regidor.

(The tanods in Mabolo were having a difficult time dealing with this youngster because they are terrified of him because he is armed; he is said to have a .38 and a .45 caliber, but we only got the .38. We are now searching for the cal. 45 that was allegedly entrusted to a guard named Fredo).

Police said the suspect was also involved in car burglary incidents in Mabolo.

Regidor said that on March 29, 2023, the suspect exchanged gunfire with one Roy-Roy Mojado, an alleged hitman of a drug personality.

Regidor added that Mamart is also a leader of a gang.

He said that last January, Mamart also stabbed a man who was attending a New Year Mass at the Mabolo church, but the victim did not complain for fear that the suspect would come back.

Regidor revealed that Sayson's neighbors were pleased with the news of his detention. (AYB, TPT)
