But instead of drenching only Domondon, who was then lying on an elevated deck of the jail complex, the dirty water dripped on Batang City Jail members who were sleeping below, according to the warden, Supt. In the ensuing riot, the inmates hurled stones, hollow blocks and pieces of wood. The victim, however, was neither from Bahala Na nor Batang City Jail but from Sigue-Sigue Sputnik. It took about an hour for BJMP and the Quezon City Police Special Weapons and Tactics teams to stop the rioting. A facility built for just 800 detainees, Quezon City Jail has become a living “nightmare” for 3,400 inmates.
