Two of the three persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) who escaped from the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City at about 1 a.m. today, Jan. 17, have been killed during separate encounters with the police and personnel of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).
Killed at about 6 p.m. today, Jan. 17, was Arwin Villeza Bio, 35 years old, who fought out it with the pursuing government forces, BuCor said.
First to be killed was Pacifico Villaruz Adlawan.
