TUBIGON, BOHOL – A Bol-anon vlogger previously featured as an endorser for Rep. Baba Yap’s congressional campaign was arrested in a drug sting operation that seized 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine or shabu worth P68,000 pesos, police said.

Mark Angelo Abucejo, 25, known online as “Gegel” and associated with Turo Family, was apprehended Oct. 15, 2025 in Barangay Macaas after allegedly selling drugs to an undercover officer, according to the Tubigon Police Station.
