CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija, Oct. 13 (PNA) -- Two fugitives, who escaped from the provincial jail of Zambales six months ago, were recaptured by elements of the Nueva Ecija Provincial Police Office (NEPPO) in Palayan City, police said.
Sr. Supt. Roberto Aliggayu, NEPPO director, said the suspects, identified as Jessie Bulatao, 35, a resident of Cabangan, Zambales and Gener Dolandolan, 28, of Botolan town were turned over to Zambales authorities on Wednesday.
Bulatao is facing violation of Republic Act 8294 or illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in Zambales Regional trial Court (RTC) while Dolandolan is charged with robbery.
They both escaped from Zambales provincial jail in Barangay Palaminan, Iba, Zambales in March 2011, Aliggayu said.
Investigation disclosed the duo escaped through a hole to a canal from the comfort room of the facility along with a certain Leymer Canoza, who is also facing robbery with homicide and Reyzon Cruz, a robbery suspect.
Cruz was rearrested in June in San Antonio, Zambales while Canoza was reportedly sighted somewhere in Nueva Ecija recently, Alligayu said.
"The arrest of the most wanted persons and fugitives in the province was a result of a month-long casing and surveillance of the Provincial Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (PIIB) under Superintendent Ricardo Villanueva and the Provincial Public Safety Company (PPSC) under Supt. Edgar Alan Okubo," he said.
This was also in line with the directives of PNP Director General Nicanor Bartolome of intensifying and neutralizing most wanted persons and other wanted persons as well as service of warrants against law offenders, he added. (PNA)
