Peter Joemel “Bikoy” Advincula, the man behind the controversial &quot;Ang Totoong Narcolist&quot; videos, was arrested on Wednesday, February 11, in Bgy. San Isidro Pili, Camarines Sur in connection to a &quot;rentangay&quot; scheme.“May mga nilalakad kasi kaming importanteng halaga. Importanteng trust fund… ‘yong kita dito ‘yon ang gagamitin para sa trust fund,” Advincula told reporters. Advincula, a resident of Ligao City, Albay, was tagged as the number three most wanted person by the Pili Municipal Police. “Sa tulong din ng complainant, nakuha natin ‘yong exact location na kung saan doon nga sa may simbahan, and naaresto natin yan sa tulong din ng HPG,” Police Captain Junel Cea, administrative officer of Pili MPS, said in an interview. Upon verification of police records, authorities discovered that Advincula also faced a standing warrant of arrest issued on November 26, 2025, by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 4, in Legazpi City. The warrant stems from an incident on November 12, 2021, at an ukay-ukay shop in Barangay Busay, Daraga, Albay where Advincula is the primary suspect in three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. The victims, all from Donsol, Sorsogon, were local candidates in the 2022 elections: Helen Garay, a councilor then running for vice mayor, and councilor candidates Xavier Mirasol and Karen Averilla. A fourth victim, Lalaine Amor, survived the shooting. While the crimes occurred during an election period, the Police Regional Office V clarified that the motive was a &quot;personal grudge.&quot; Investigations revealed that Advincula allegedly targeted the victims after Garay refused to lend him money. Though he was initially arrested in 2021, Advincula was able to post bail and went into hiding in Camarines Sur, where he allegedly joined a group involved in carnapping. “Humihingi din ako ng proteksyon kasi hindi basta-basta ang mga taong nasa likod nito. Mga malalaking tao, may abogado, may tumakbong dating governor sa isang probinsiya ng Bicol,” he added. Advincula is currently in the custody of the Pili Municipal Police Station for documentation before being presented to the court of origin. “This notable accomplishment further strengthens the unit’s intensified campaign against criminality and affirms its steadfast commitment to the effective enforcement of the law,” Camarines Sur Police Provincial Office (CSPPO) said in a statement. The court has recommended a bail of P120,000.00 for each count of the murder and attempted murder charges.
