Guarte, 33, was stabbed in the chest while sleeping in the house of a kagawad in Barangay Camilmil on Tuesday.

The suspect, armed with a bladed weapon, barged into the house at around 4:30 a.m., attacked Guarte and then fled.

Although wounded, Guarte was able to seek help and was rushed to the Sta. Maria Village Hospital for treatment. He was transferred to the Mindoro Medical Center where he died.

Police recovered at the crime scene a  bladed weapon believed used in the killing.

Fulache said Guarte and the person of interest had known each other for years.

“It appears the person of interest held a grudge against the victim. The suspect waited until after the victim finished the drinking session with his friends to carry out the attack,” Fulache said.

Police have visited several barangays where the person of interest has relatives, but failed to find him.

POGOs have dramatically illustrated the difficulty of regulating illegal activities online. Apart from the weak capability of the state to effectively monitor gaming transactions for accurate taxation, POGOs have been found to engage in numerous forms of cyberscams and defying laws regulating SIM cards. 

Garcia has waived the secrecy of his bank deposits to prove the accusations wrong, and has sought the help of both Philippine and US authorities to go after those behind what he describes as a demolition job against him.

Fulache expressed belief that the person of interest is still in the area.

Aside from being a two-time SEAG gold medalistiwildcasino, Guarte was an airman first class of the Philippine Air Force.
