00:00 The opening of the New Bilibid Prison has been announced to spread the prisons outside of Metro Manila
00:06 like Palawan, Mindoro and Davao.
00:09 The hope is that the persons deprived of liberty will be more benefitted
00:16 especially in the presence of food security.
00:19 Here is the news.
00:20 The Bureau of Corrections is now opening the New Bilibid Prison
00:26 and it is expected to become drug-free in 2028.
00:29 The Bureau of Corrections Chief Gregorio Catapang also said that the existence of the New Bilibid Prison in Metro Manila is not yet practical.
00:36 It is expected that 80% of the prisoners will be transferred to Palawan.
00:41 Currently, there are 30,000 prisoners in the Bureau of Corrections
00:46 and it is expected that some will be transferred to Davao, Palawan, Zamboanga and Leyte
00:50 to face decongestion in the facility of the New Bilibid Prison.
00:55 General Catapang is also planning to move the prisoners who are drug-addicted to Mindoro.
01:03 4,150 persons deprived of liberty were recently transferred from here
01:11 to the Muntinlupa City Bureau of Corrections in Davao, Pinal and Prison Farm in Davao, Del Norte
01:17 until December 31, 2023.
01:20 The Bureau of Corrections is still planning to implement changes to decongest the prison.
01:25 In the latest data of the Bureau of Corrections,
01:28 the illegal activities of some PDLs were removed from the prisons in 2812.
01:37 The Bureau of Corrections also called the prisons of Calapatis
01:42 which was also the reason for the entry of smugglers into the prisons.
01:48 The Bureau of Corrections is planning to raise P300 million in the next year.
01:57 Currently, the programs are being implemented and the Bureau of Corrections is expecting a big change.
02:05 Removing the prisoners is a big help.
02:10 The contraband was inspected three times.
02:17 We are now planning to transfer PDLs.
02:20 Two months ago, I transferred 500 male PDLs to Palawan.
02:29 Together with 50 women from the Correctional Institute for Women,
02:36 I transferred them to Palawan.
02:39 By 2028, we are planning to close the New Believed Prison in Montinlupa
02:48 because it is no longer practical to have a prison here.
02:52 First class subdivisions are the only ones who can be allowed to be here.
02:58 General Katapang also said that he will use hectares of land outside Metro Manila
03:05 to plant vegetables and rice that can help in improving the food security of the country.
03:10 General Katapang also said that the budget of 75 pesos per PDL should be increased.
03:18 The Bureau of Corrections also admitted that this is not enough to support the inmates.
03:25 We said that the subsistence should be increased to 100 pesos.
03:31 The DBM said that if we increase the subsistence of PDLs of the Bureau of Corrections,
03:36 we will also increase the subsistence of PDLs of the BGMP.
03:42 If you don't want to increase the food supply of PDLs, just give us the money for construction.
03:49 How much is the budget per PDL here in the Bureau of Corrections?
03:53 In the Bureau of Corrections, and for all, 70 pesos.
03:57 Under the leadership of General Katapang, the target is to make the distribution of money to PDLs cashless.
