The Marikina City Police Station identified the suspect as Marvin Bucaycay, a resident of Sampaloc, Manila.
According to police, Bucaycay was apprehended around 2:30 a.m. by patrolling officers behind Leodegario Elementary School, a polling place in Barangay J. Dela Peña, while distributing tabloids with controversial headlines targeting Marcy Teodoro, who is running for District 1 representative, and mayoral aspirant Maan Teodoro.
‘’IT'S FINAL! MARCY TEODORO, DISKWALIPOKADO; BOTO KAY MARCY, HINDI NA BIBILANGIN! (It’s final! Marcy Teodoro disqualified; votes for Marcy will no longer be counted!) and “MAY DQ NA, MAY SHOW CAUSE PA! MAAN AT MARCY DINAGUKAN NG COMELEC SA VOTE BUYING! (Disqualified and still facing a show cause order! Maan and Marcy slammed by the Comelec for vote buying),” the tabloid read.

He was immediately arrested as police said that it was clearly a violation of Unlawful Electioneering under B.P. 881 (Omnibus Election Code).
Bucaycay was immediately brought to Barangka Police Substation (PSS-2) and turned over to responding officers. A total of 259 copies of the tabloid were confiscated from his possession.
During the investigation, Bucaycay admitted that he was recruited by a neighbor to distribute the materials and was promised a payment of P1,200.
He is now temporarily detained at the Male Custodial Facility of Marikina City Police Station.
