A town mayor of Pampanga is now in detention following his arrest in a sting conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation in Angeles City on Aug. 5.
NBI officials said San Simon Mayor Abundio Punsalan Jr. and aide Ed Ryan Dimla were caught red-handed in receiving P30 million in marked bills from representatives of RealSteel Corp. Apart from the pair, NBI agents arrested six bodyguards of Punsalan who were in the restaurant where the payoff was made.
RealSteel had sought NBI help, claiming that Punsalan and Dimla were demanding P80 million for the release of the company's business permit to operate in San Simon.
