BARANGAY Babag Councilor Renante Bacarisas has surrendered on Tuesday morning, June 19, to Cebu City Councilor Dave Tumulak, two days after shooting his cousin in an argument.

Bacarisas said he had plans to surrender but he explained that he just "cooled off" to clear his mind.

"Plano jud nako sa pag-surrender kay kibaw ko nga nakalapas ko sa balaod," Bacarisas said, whose hands were covered with a blue cloth, while being interviewed by reporters inside the office of Tumulak.

Last Sunday, June 17, Bacarisas allegedly shot George Ibona twice after an argument.

THREAT. According to a Capitol consultant, the Cebu City Government is threatening to shut down the Cebu North Bus Terminal at the back of SM City Cebu (left) and the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. for operating without a business permit. The Province, which runs both terminals, maintains that it operates the facilities as a public service for passengers going to the province and vice versa. /
