CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Governor Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda has ordered on Thursday the preventive suspension of five prison guards after the escape of Park Wang Yeol, a Korean detained at the Pampanga Provincial Jail (PPJ).
Prison Guard 1 (PG 1) Randy Sibug, PG1 Clarito Mendoza, PG1 Danilo Gonzales, PG1 Danigen Aragon and PG1 Carlo Layag have been also restricted inside the PPJ while they undergo investigation into Park’s escape in Tarlac City last Wednesday.
Governor Pineda also ordered the filing of a case against the guards for infidelity in the custody of prisoner.
“At my instruction, the Pampanga police have been tracking down the whereabouts of Park,” the governor said.
The police have flashed alarms for Park’s capture.
According to a police report, Park and the guards went to an eatery in Barangay San Rafael, Tarlac City after his arraignment at RTC Branch 64 was reset. Inside the eatery, the five escorts went to the table to order food while the prisoner went straight to the comfort room.
After a few minutes, they discovered that the prisoner has fled using the ventilation window of the comfort room.
Park has been detained at the PPJ since 2016 for three counts of murder in Bacolor. The court committed him to the PPJ for a case of illegal possession of firearms in Tarlac.
