POLICE arrested Dr. Paulus Mariae Cañete for illegal possession of a .38 revolver Thursday night as he allegedly was about to hand over the firearm to a man who claimed he was hired by the school official to steal documents from Mandaue City College (MCC).
The controversial MCC official, however, was released late yesterday afternoon after posting P60,000 bail before Municipal Trial Court in Cities Judge Carlo Fernando.
Gavino Cabahug, 29, an electronics technician and resident of Lamac, Consolacion, Cebu, told police Cañete offered him P50,000 to steal MCC school records. He also said an intermediary initially told him Cañete wanted MCC burned.
