CAMP JULIAN OLIVAS, Pampanga – Police authorities are still conducting a massive manhunt to capture seven more detainees who bolted out of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) detention facility based here last Sunday.
PDEA-Central Luzon Director Juvenal Azurin identified the fugitives as Edilberto Clemente of Tondo, Manila; Eduardo Gregorio Jr. and Roberto Castillo of Plaridel, Bulacan; Victor Briguel and Robert Salas of the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan; Yahya Malang of Tarlac City; and Kiram Tambelawan of Bulacan.
They were part of the 13 escapees who are facing drug charges but made their way out of the detention facility last Sunday after successfully cutting the metal bars of the cell with a saw. They got out through the EMS Subdivision at the back of Camp Olivas, said Azurin.
