Bajamonde was accosted by barangay officials and was turned over to Jagna police operatives who were dispatched to check on the disturbance.

According to Berondo, Bajamonde was angered by a statement posted by Aviles on Facebook prompting him to confront the Jagna town employee.

“Na-estorya pud nato si Mr. Bajamonde, mura ba og below the belt or wa na siya ganahi sa na-post sa Facebook ni Mr. Igay mao tong iyang gi-konprontar didto para iyang estoryahon kuno unta pero sad to say mi blow up ang sitwasyon,” Berondo said.

Following his apprehension, Berondo said that he tried to arrange an out-of-court settlement with Aviles.

Aviles however was determined to file charges against Bajamonde.

Meanwhile, Bajamonde is also planning to file a case against Aviles for allegedly kicking his motorcycle causing it to fall to its side during the scuffle outside the latter’s residence.
