Two of these high-risk prisoners were transferred on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 15, followed by two others on Thursday, Feb. 16.

They were airlifted to Manila after being transported to the Zamboanga City International Airport from the San Ramon Penal Colony.

This was the second rescue plot uncovered by authorities here. In January 2015, authorities uncovered a plan by Basilan-based ASG members to rescue their comrades from the Zamboanga City Reformatory Center.
