“My husband felt bad about his being used, and how he was
discarded when he outlived his usefulness,” she says, recalling
him telling her that he felt sore about a misunderstanding with
Osmena.
The Cebu City mayor and wife Margarita were afraid that Dumpit’s
psychological instability and emotional outbursts would affect
the family home in Guadalupe, according to members of the
mayor’s household staff.
The mayor gave him financial allowances to help him make both
ends meet as a breadwinner for two families: Gabuya’s in Cebu
City and Amores in Tagbilaran.
Osmena became mayor again in 2001 and later gave him charge over
a squad of police officers in the newly formed Hunter Team
headed by Chief Inspector Arnel Banzon, in addition to his
duties as escort and bodyguard.
Later charged with homicide charge for the 2004 death of robbery
suspect Ron Go, who he allegedly gunned down on the way to
surrender, Dumpit took to hiding for six years, gave up in
February 2010, and sentenced to six years.
