00:00ASEAN countries will help to address the lack of support for the well-being of persons deprived of liberty.

00:08We will now go to the center of the news, Louisa Erispe. Live, Louisa.

00:16Clazel, in the first instance, the Philippines was the first in the ASEAN Regional Correctional Conference

00:23that is being held here in Palawan.

00:25The Department of Justice and the Bureau of Corrections were given the steps or reforms of the government

00:31to fix the problems in the country.

00:35Poverty, lack of support for the well-being of persons deprived of liberty, and others.

00:41These are the problems of the problems in the Philippines, as well as in other countries.

00:46That is why now, in the second ASEAN Regional Correctional Conference,

00:50ASEAN countries will help, particularly Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Darussalam, Cambodia, Vietnam,

00:59Laos, Malaysia, and Timor-Leste, to address this problem.

01:04I acknowledge that we have significant challenges in the Philippines, particularly in terms of prison management.

01:10Our correctional system struggles with severe budget constraints affecting the basic needs of inmates,

01:16issues of criminality, drugs, institutional corruption,

01:20and the pressing need to enhance the competence and professionalism of our prison officers.

01:25Another solution is prisoner exchange between ASEAN countries.

01:31This system, if a Filipino is sentenced in ASEAN countries,

01:35his sentence will only be completed in the Philippines,

01:38just like what was done to Mary Jane Veloso, who was sent home to the Philippines to complete her sentence.

01:45This can also be done to foreigners who were sentenced in the Philippines,

01:50and in their own country, where they will also complete their sentence.

01:53For example, there are Filipinos who are imprisoned in Indonesia or Malaysia.

01:58We have prison, not exchange or prison,

02:06but a way of giving to other Filipinos who committed a crime in Indonesia is a sentence,

02:17but this sentence will be served here in the Philippines.

02:20Another solution in the Philippines is the plan to unify the prison system in the country.

02:26The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology at Bucor will join forces,

02:30and will also discuss unifying the prison system even in provincial jails.

02:35The order of our beloved President, which our Secretary of Justice is now pursuing,

02:41is a unified penology and correctional system.

02:46The DOJ admitted that the problem of the country is still big to fix the prisons,

02:52but they believe that the change in the prison system of the country is also big.

02:57In New Belived Prison, from the previous 350% congestion rate, it dropped to 240%.

03:06We remain very optimistic,

03:08most especially considering that the present administration has made prison reform

03:13a key part of its campaign on compassionate justice.

03:17We have a long way to go, but I firmly believe that we are on the right path

03:21that will positively impact our country and society as a whole.

03:28Claricelle, the ASEAN Regional Correctional Conference will be held here in Palawan until Monday,

03:35and it is expected that there will be a lot of discussions.

03:38There will be plenary sessions where the delegates from different countries will discuss

03:43so that the problems in the prisons can be addressed.

03:46Earlier, at the start of the program, it was discussed that not only in the Philippines

03:52but also in other countries, not only in ASEAN, but also in Europe and other regions of the world.

04:01That is why they will force the system to be fixed,

04:05and the most important issue here is the right of persons deprived of liberty.

04:10Claricelle.

04:12Thank you very much, Luis Erizpe.
