The Philippines in the '60s was notoriously lawless. Gangsters walked the streets with no regard for or fear of the law.
From individual criminals to ganglords, there were plenty of reasons why chaos reigned.
Here are the most notorious criminals to ever walk Philippine streets.
1. Asiong Salonga aka Hari ng Tondo
A true crime king, Asiong controlled the streets of Tondo for several years. Hated by the authorities but loved by his peers, it was believed that the 'Hari ng Tondo' was also a Robin Hood-like figure, taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
He died at the age of 27 when he was shot during a drinking session. His life story was the basis for the 2011 movie 'Manila Kingpin: The Asion Salonga Story'.
2. Arutoro Porcuna aka Boy Golden
Known for his violence when dealing with rival gangs, he met his bloody end in the morning of December 24th, 1963 when he was gunned down by the police.

4. Marcila Ama Perez aka. Baby Ama
Don’t let his child like looks confuse you, this was a killer hardened by tragedy.
