According to the BuCor chief, around six months ago, his son went to Bicol where his girlfriend lives to go back to school.

"He is a working student in Ateneo de Naga. He is working hard . I know he is not capable of doing such," Faeldon said.

"I don't think he uses it. but that's not for me to say," he said.

Faeldon said the subject of the search warrant is the father of his son's girlfriend.

In a report, Chief Superintendent Arnel Escoba-- Bicol region police head, said the implementation of search warrant against businessman Russel Lanuzo Bermudo alias Bubbles happened around 5am at San Miguel St., Barangay Mabolo in Naga City.
