Former Daraga Mayor Carlwyn Baldo cannot leave the country after he was freed for posting bail as a hold departure order (HDO) was issued against him.

Police Brigadier General Arnel Escobal, Bicol regional director. said Baldo was released from Legazpi City Jail around 4:47 pm of September 9 after posting P8.7 million bail last week.

"However, a hold-departure order was issued against the accused and that he, his immediate family, and his counsel are banned from talking about the case before the media," said Escobal.

Baldo is being accused as the alleged mastermind for killing AKO Bicol Partylist Rep. Rodel Batocabe and his police escort last December 2018. Ella Dionisio/DMS
