Lately, the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) has gotten extra-scary. This time, a shocking incident has happened at the medium security compound.
“Two NBP inmates — Michael Tibag and Mariano Bierso — were stabbed with a scalpel by a fellow prisoner who was jolted out of sleep by their noise around 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 20,” reports Tetch Torres-Tupas on Inquirer.net.
According to NBP office-in-charge Superintendent Richard Schwarskopf, Tibag and Bierso “received superficial wounds and were treated at the prison hospital.”
Meanwhile, the suspect, Mikael Ilig, was taken to a disciplinary cell.
Schwarskopf related that the two victims were shocked when their sleeping companion suddenly awakened and proceeded to attack them with a scalpel.
The report explained that “the small scalpel was used by inmates to carve statues and picture frames that are sold to visitors.”
Schwarskopf pointed out that “it was the first time in years that such an incident happened at the medium security compound.”
