CAMP GENERAL ALEJO SANTOS, Bulacan — Operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), headed by Chief Inspector Julius Ceasar Mana, arrested the other day the No. 10 most wanted person in this province.

A report received by Senior Supt. Diosdado Ramos, newly installed acting Bulacan police director, identified the arrested suspect as Santiago Jomoro, 36, married, carpenter, of Barangay Sibul, San Miguel, Bulacan.

Mana said Jomoro was arrested by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by Bulacan Regional Trial Court Branch 79 Judge Olivia Secubio-Samar.

Mana said Jomoro had gone into hiding since last Jan. 15 when he was accused of raping an 18-year-old girl in Barangay Sibul. But after five months of hunt, Jomoro was finally arrested, Mana said.
