LEGAZPI CITY: Daraga Mayor Carlwyn Baldo was brought back to the Legazpi City detention cell on Monday night by officials of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) after almost two weeks of confinement at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Hospital here for asthma attack and hypertension.

Lawyer Merito Lovenzky Fernandez, head of Baldo’s legal team, said his client opted to leave the hospital despite his medical condition after a high-ranking official ordered the transfer of Baldo to the Philippine National Police (PNP) hospital in Camp Crame in Quezon City.
