Patricio Mata, the alleged escapee from Ibn Sina Medical Company, has been declared a free man, ridding him of his runaway charges.
He left the country last night, with his name cleared and with his claim honoured for three months’ salary from ISMC. Friend and colleague, Bong Pineda, is relieved about the quick resolution of the case.
“I thought he may be held back for a month or two but now all is fine.”
“Initially, we thought ISMC would not budge, denying Patricio ever coming to work. He got his justice and was able to go home with his salary and honour intact,” he said.

“Initially, we thought ISMC would not budge, denying Patricio ever coming to work. He got his justice and was able to go home with his salary and honour intact,” he said.
Philippine embassy consular assistant and attaché Ramon Nerida said: “We surely had a strong case against them, and Mata got what was due to him. Immigration officials played a vital role in this case. Their unquestionable cooperation led to the justified outcome of the case. Mata is free, has gotten paid and sent home.”
Mata, a machine operator for ISMC, was arrested at the office premises on September 12 on runaway charges. A case was filed against his sponsors for wrongful arrest and outstanding wages for three months.
