The suspect, who was tagged as the top 1 “most wanted” man in Cebu, has been ordered to post a P200,000 bail for his temporary liberty.
The two others were arrested last Monday, including one of the ten “most wanted persons” (MWPs) in the Bicol region was arrested based on a non-bailable warrant for three counts of rape issued by Judge Agaton Fajardo of the Naga City RTC Br. 6 last November 3.
