Twelve prisoners escaped from a district jail of Olongapo City in Pampanga
province, northern Philippines on Friday morning, the regional director of the
Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) said.
Senior Superintendent
Dionisio Mamaril, BJMP director in Central Luzon, said the detainees escaped by
destroying the wooden ceiling and aluminum roof of their cell in Barretto
village at about 2:45 a.m.
The prisoners then climbed the roof of the women's
detention center and used a four-meter piece lumber as a bridge to the
compound's fence, the director said.
Mamaril said he had fired the four jail
guards on duty and recommended the filing of administrative and criminal charges
against them.
