Leyte Provincial Jail Warden Homobono U. Bardillon identified the escapees as Sonny Costillas and Marlon Obligado.
Bardillon said Costillas is facing murder charge while Obligado has a pending case of car theft before the Regional Trial Court in Hilongos.
He said Costillas, Obligado and a third inmate, Ronald Merino, took advantage of a heavy downpour to break out.
Merino was killed by jail guards in Inopacan town when he resisted arrest.
He was waiting for a passenger bus bound for Manila when the jail guards, acting on a tip, caught up with him.
Bardillon has asked the Leyte provincial police to help in arresting Costillas and Obligado.
Sub-Provincial Jail Warden Cesar Maraya has been relieved following the escape and was reassigned to the Leyte Sub-Provincial Jail in Palompon, Leyte, awaiting charges for infidelity of prisoners, Bardillon said.
Maraya’s assistant, Merly Vertulfo has been named in his place.
