The coconut vendor who earned the sympathy of netizens after he was mauled last week by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) personnel has turned out to be a longtime fugitive from the law. Hours earlier, Relos’ brothers, Dondon and Roy, were also picked up by the police in their house in Pasay City. Based on the case information given to the MMDA, the brothers barged into Olete’s house and hacked him to death in front of his wife, Evelyn. However, Relos failed to appear at the agency and instead went to Raffy Tulfo’s public service program at TV5.
