00:00Hoping for a free time, that's the goal of the skills training held by Quezon City LGU and a hotel in Persons Deprived of Liberty in Quezon City Jail Female Dormitory.

00:12First news, Niko Wahe.

00:15At the same time of serving the sentence of PDL or Persons Deprived of Liberty,

00:23it is also possible that even if they are released, they can still continue their dreams.

00:32Len, her real name is not known, has been in prison for 3 years here in Quezon City Jail Female Dormitory.

00:40Her life really changed when she was in prison because of the case of syndicated staffer.

00:45At first, she was worried that even if she is released, will she still be able to find a job?

00:50As far as you know, if a person is in prison and he is released, it is hard for them to get a job right away.

00:59So to not go back to zero even if he is released,

01:02she joined the training of PDL of Basic Housekeeping Skills,

01:07a project held by LGU of Quezon City and a hotel in Lungsod.

01:11We built an exact replica of a hotel room inside the facility.

01:16So that when they train for 100 hours, they can also practice the skills.

01:20So that's how we wanted.

01:22But the end goal is for us, once they graduate, we want to offer the employment, the opportunity to work in the hotel.

01:31As housekeeping room attendant.

01:33Successfully completed the skills training in basic housekeeping.

01:38Yesterday, she was one of 41 PDLs who graduated from the program.

01:43Even if they are released, they can easily receive a hotel and LGU to get a job.

01:49All they need to do is to take an exam in TESDA to get an NC2 certificate and they can get a job.

01:56Even now, I'm equipped with the skills and technique that I learned here in the basic housekeeping training.

02:03Leia is also one of the graduates.

02:06But she was released in October.

02:09She was imprisoned for 4 years.

02:11That's the beginning.

02:15The beginning of a new life.

02:17A change that should not disappear.

02:22The program of LGU and the private sector,

02:25they were able to lower the number of PDLs who were released,

02:29but returned to prison in the same case.

02:31Or the repeat offenders here in Quezon City Jail Female Dormitory.

02:35Here in FD, they have a small recidivism.

02:40Maybe 10% or below.

02:43So compared to our national statistics, in Metro Manila itself, in CR,

02:48the difference is big.

02:50Our average is 30%.

02:54The city will penalize establishments that do not accept a skilled worker, a qualified worker,

03:00just because that person had a history that they didn't like.

03:05So that's prohibited in Quezon City.

03:07As you know, we are a very inclusive city.

03:13One who commits a crime will not be forgiven for the rest of his life.

03:18The day of forgiveness will come and it will start again.

03:22This is the first news.

03:24Nico Jae for GMA Integrated News.
