Valenzuela’s most wanted falls

MANILA, Philippines - Police arrested yesterday one of the most wanted persons in Valenzuela City, who had been in hiding for the past 10 years.

Raymilan Balingit was tagged in the murder of a 16-year-old boy in 2004, city police chief Senior Superintendent Rhoderick Armamento said.

Armamento said policemen swooped down on the house of the suspect in Bayugo, Meycauayan, Bulacan after a tip from an informant.

Balingit, alias “Boy Metro,” was nabbed by virtue of a warrant issued by Judge Floro Alejo of the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court Branch 172 for killing John Ray David.
