MANILA, Philippines — The Manila Police District (MPD) released from detention three members of Panday Sining after they posted bail yesterday afternoon.
The Metropolitan Trial Court ordered the release of Jeanne Vaugh Nico Quijano, 24; Joven Francis Laura, 24, and Mikhail Collado, 18, after they posted bail of P6,700 each.
They were taken into police custody recently on charges of malicious mischief and vandalism.
A minor member of the group was turned over to the local social welfare department.
Last week, the Manila city council declared the members of Panday Sining persona non grata for painting protest graffiti around the city.
The group said their members were illegally held for over 100 hours at the MPD headquarters without charges in violation of the 12-hour period of detention allowed by law.
