CEBU, Philippines - A 54-year-old ex-convict is now in critical condition after being shot allegedly by another ex-convict reportedly because of jealousy Friday night in San Antonio, barangay Linao, Talisay City.

Suspected assailant Boy Restauro, also a resident of the place, was still at large as of this writing.

SPO1 Mikie Espina of the Talisay City Police Station said the police learned that Restauro and Barliso were jailed for murder charges.

Espina said Barliso, whose estranged wife is Restauro’s relative, served 12 years in prison.
