Thirteen detainees facing illegal drug cases bolted from their detention cell in northern Philippine province of Pampanga early Sunday.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) public information chief Derrick Arnold Carreon said the detainees escaped from PDEA 3 Detention Facility in Camp Olivas, San Fernando City at around 1:30 a.m. local time.
Carreon said manhunt operation has been launched to recapture the escapees.
The detainees managed to escape despite the all-out war declared by the Duterte administration against illegal drugs.
