A 54-year-old man has been arrested for punching his partner and chasing his step-daughter with a knife.
Lucio O. Yasona was arrested on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery.
Detective Jonathan Decena said Yasona punched his partner because “his name was not mentioned, nor was he recognized” during the defendant’s birthday party.
Police from the Koban substation responded to a disturbance call made from an apartment complex in Garapan.
Police were met by a female juvenile who told the officers that she was being chased by her step-father, Yasona, who was armed with a knife.
Prior to the incident, a birthday party was being held for Yasona.
Yasona later became very angry and violent, “calling his partner names and cussing her in a Filipino dialect,” police said.
Yasona also threatened to kill his partner, police added.
The female juvenile woke up after hearing the commotion, and saw her mother screaming for her help.
Armed with a knife, Yasona met his step-daughter who ran out of the apartment room.
Yasona locked the door, leaving him with the juvenile’s mother.
Police said Yasona attempted to stab the victim several times.
Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo required Yasona to post $600 or 10 percent of the $6,000 bail, and the remaining amount should be posted as an unsecured or appearance bond.

and now he has to cough out 10% of the 6k?
feelings are precious, acknowledge the ones you love, on their special occasion.
So, he went into a violent, threatening, potentially murderous tirade because his name wasn't mentioned… at a birthday party?
After my post yesterday I have come to the conclusion that a public flogging might actually be good for all concerned. It would certainly be a deterrent to those who might threaten or beat up another. It would also put the public on notice: you pull this kind of stuff and you'll get a whipping. No more 'time served,' probation, or a slap on the wrist. It is time to get serious. Singapore does this, and everybody stays in line.
