Sumabong tags Tining as brains

Suspected robbery gang leader Joel Sumabong surrendered to the police yesterday afternoon, nearly six months after allegedly running away with P9.4 million from the Land Bank of the Philippines branch in Bogo, Cebu.

Sumabong, 32, pointed to Bogo Mayor Celestino “Tining” Martinez III as the one behind the robbery, an allegation the mayor again denied.

Sumabong also implicated an active policeman and an asset of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) 7.
