Meanwhile, Pasay police chief PCol Froilan Uy said the detainees will face four more charges, apart from existing cases filed against them.
“Meron po silang additional na kaso. Una yung evasion, pangalawa yung direct assault, pangatlo yung attempted homicide at pang-apat yung robbery with violence,” Uy told reporters Tuesday night.

CNN Philippines has reached out to the Southern Police District which has yet to clarify the charges to be filed against the detainees.
Uy also identified Norman Deyta as mastermind of the jailbreak from the Malibay Detention Facility before dawn on Monday.
He said Deyta mauled the jail guard. Authorities recaptured Deyta around 10 a.m. Tuesday and recovered a firearm and magazine assembly with live ammunition.
Six of the detainees are currently facing drug charges, two are robbery suspects, and the other a car theft suspect.
The last detainee was recaptured on Tuesday in a cemetery in Pasay.
