MABALACAT CITY, Pampanga––A rape suspect hiding in San Simon town for seven years had been arrested under a warrant from a court in Occidental Mindoro province.
The Pampanga police identified the suspect in a statement Tuesday as Jaypee Sampang, 26.

In June 2003, Judge Teresita Diaz-Baldos of the Malolos, Bulacan RTC Branch 17 issued an arrest warrant against Pangilinan for qualified theft with P44,000 recommended bail.
The police also arrested Aldrin Aquino, 35, in San Fernando City after Judge Robert Alexander Razon-Malig of the capital city’s RTC Branch 45 issued a warrant of arrest against him for violation of the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse Exploitation and Discrimination Act.
The Pampanga police said they would present the arrested suspects to the courts that issued the warrants.
