ILOILO City – After years of hiding, the No. 4 most wanted person in Western Visayas was arrested on Thursday, October 31, in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija.
The 36-year-old Ronald Arguilles Fajardo, a resident of Barangay Ungka 1, Pavia, Iloilo, was caught around 10:30 p.m. at the house of his relative.
