I was supposed to collect money from the person I was going to meet because I was borrowing money from Buddy.]" Martin said.
"Ihahatid ko lang po, isang give, tapos alis na po,[I'll just hand over the package then I will leave.]" he added.
Martin will be brought to Quezon City Police Station 7 for booking and processing.
