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.
