Maguan Family’s statement,Aug. 16:
The family does not believe the claims of convicted killer Rolito Go that he was abducted, then suddenly released. It is very much like a zarzuela that was very poorly-written. This mockery of justice should not be condoned by the authorities.

Convicted killer Rolito Go is now in police custody after he went missing from the New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) in Muntinlupa City Tuesday night.
Philippine National Police (PNP) Director-General Nicanor Bartolome said Go and his nephew, Clemence Yu, are already in the custody of the PNP-Anti-Kidnapping Group in Camp Crame.
Go told police that he and his nephew were supposedly released by their alleged kidnappers in Tanauan, Batangas.

Statement from the Maguan Family
We are deeply saddened and grieved by the latest news that convicted killer Rolito Go disappeared from the New Bilibid Prison last night and successfully escaped prison. This is his second escape.
Rolito Go was convicted for shooting and killing our brother Eldon in 1991. Eldon, the third in our family, was a 25-year old engineering student from De La Salle University. He was seated in his car when Rolito Go, in an attempt to alter the traffic, broke a one-way portion of Wilson St., San Juan and mercilessly shot Eldon in the head in a road rage fit. Our brother, who just bought pizza, was killed. News of Go’s escape has brought back the family’s grief and trauma over Eldon’s unjust death.
Contrary to statements that Go was believed to have been abducted, our sources say he is presently with his daughter, who is an intern at the Chinese General Hospital. The family finds it difficult to believe that Go can be kidnapped or abducted and even held for ransom while he was safely inside the Bureau of Prisons in Muntinlupa.
