A man was stabbed to death by his drinking companion during a heated misunderstanding in San Mateo, Rizal, last Saturday.
Col. Feloteo Gonzalgo, Rizal provincial police office PPO director, identified the fatality who died on the spot due to a stab wound to his chest as Jhoe, of legal age, a resident of San Mateo, Rizal.
The suspect, alias Kiko, is still at large and is the subject of a manhunt operation.
