Maybe he loves being in jail so much that he wants to see what it’s like to be an inmate, too.
“In the wee hours of Sunday, Jan 26, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) employee Gerald Bantag and his three companions did not pay their bill amounting to PHP2,063 after drinking at the Juno Food House in Barangay Tugatog, Malabon City,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
Witnesses say that sometime after Bantag and his companions were asked to pay their bill, Bantag seemed to get mad. So, he fired his 9mm pistol at the restaurant’s wall. Then, he and his companions got up and left.
Malabon City police investigation division head Chief Inspector Reynaldo Medina diclosed that Bantag has been charged with illegal discharge of firearm and estafa before the Malabon Prosecutor’s Office.
The clincher is that Bantag also happened to be a former jail warden of the Malabon City Jail. Needless to say, the police are now looking for him.
