The victim was identified as Vicente Pingoy Jr., 43, of the said village.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Lowell Garinganao, city police chief, said Pingoy and the suspect identified as Ralph John Molinos, 23, of the said village, were having a drinking session when a misunderstanding ensued between them.
