Jaybee Niño Sebastian, 36, a third-year college dropout, has shown leadership qualities since the day he was captured and detained 15 years ago for kidnapping and car theft. There, a few days later, he became overall adviser of the Sigue Sigue Commando gang. At NBP, Sebastian headed Presidio, supposedly one of two drug operators there. ADVERTISEMENTAs leader of the Commando gang, Sebastian was allegedly used by drug lords to eliminate distributors who failed to remit proceeds from drug sales inside and outside NBP. The government dismissed claims that the riot was a move to stop Sebastian from testifying on the illegal drug activities in NBP.
