( Jun Ryan Arañas / MANILA BULLETIN) The reported mastermind behind the jailbreak in Bacoor City, Cavite last week returns to wipe the cold bars of his cell after being arrested in Baclaran Church, Parañaque City late Monday night. Bacoor Pnp Supt. Vicente Cabatingan said Jene Lloyd Bernabe was re-arrested when he tried to meet his girlfriend. ( Jun Ryan Arañas / MANILA BULLETIN) The report said Bernabe was arrested at the compound of Baclaran Church around 11 p.m. while waiting for his former live-in partner and current girlfriend. The report said Bacoor cops have already been following the two women, whose identities were not divulged, because they received intelligence information that they would meet Bernabe when they learned the latter escaped. When police confirmed the two women would finally meet Bernabe three days after the jailbreak, the Bacoor cops conducted the operation. "For information, we have already arrested one of the brains behind the jailbreak, identified as Jene Lloyd Bernabe," the report said. It added that Bernabe had long been urging his co-inmates to help him mount a plan to break free. The accusation was denied by Bernabe, according to the Bacoor police, as the suspect insisted he had no intention to flee. He, however, claimed he only took the chance to escape during the jailbreak on Friday because "the opportunity already presented itself." Bernabe was first arrested on April 2, 2018, for forcible abduction with rape charges. The case was filed by the family of his 14-year-old girlfriend who appears not to favor their relationship. With Bernabe's arrest, the number of recaptured escapees rose to 15 as of 8 a.m. of Tuesday. Eight escapees remain at-large including another mastermind in the said jailbreak, Ariel Villacampa, although authorities previously said the incident was not planned. Earlier, Cabatingan said at least two of the remaining fugitives already sent surrender feelers to them
