Former TV host and 2013 gubernatorial candidate Roliyeth ‘Klasmit Boyet’ Cortes was arrested by police for reportedly posing as a Customs employee in Caloocan City Wednesday night..
The 52-year-old Cortes was arrested along with 62-year old Ceccilia Lucentales from their condo unit in Gil Puyat Avenue during an entrapment operation at 8 PM.
