00:00The Bureau of Corrections' target is to make the Pesos Zone or Economic Zone the number one in the country

00:05so that millions of investments can be made.

00:08This is what Louisa Erispe reported.

00:13It's not just the problems in prison that are expected to be solved

00:17by the ASEAN countries' efforts to talk about the prison system in different countries.

00:22According to the Bureau of Corrections,

00:24millions of investments are also expected to enter the Philippines.

00:29The Bureau of Corrections laid out to the countries in the region

00:32the plan to make the Pesos Zone or Economic Zone the number one in the country,

00:37particularly the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm.

00:40After this conference, I was told by the PESA Director General

00:46that investors will be coming in from Thailand, from Singapore and other countries

00:54because they want to also invest in the Philippines.

00:58Iwahig Prison will be a new prison.

01:01The Bureau of Corrections' plan is to use 28,300 hectares of land,

01:05most of which will be used to grow agricultural products, fisheries and others.

01:11So with the help of the investments, Iwahig will become a food security hub.

01:15Number one is food security.

01:19That's the problem of the country.

01:23Because of the timing change,

01:26we need to make sure that we produce the food that we need.

01:31So this will be a hub for aqua and agricultural products.

01:36The persons deprived of liberty will be transferred from the new believed prison

01:41to Iwahig and other regional facilities.

01:43They will also help in farming, raising animals and aquaculture.

01:48According to the Bureau of Corrections,

01:50PDLs have a lot of food and work that they can use for their freedom.

01:56We want the PDLs to be relevant.

02:00We want the PDLs to be, as early as now,

02:04to be able to contribute something to the society.

02:08And when the time comes that there will be GCTA and a lot of freedom,

02:12they are prepared to have a reintegration program.

02:17They really need a better place to live because they get sick there.

02:22And then of course, this will not stop me from looking around.

02:28We will also put a farm in Region 1.

02:31But we really have to get out of Metro Manila

02:37because really our position there is untenable.

02:40For the new believed prison,

02:42because the PDLs will be gone,

02:45the Bureau of Corrections plans to sell this land.

02:48Like what they did in Davao Penal Colony now,

02:50they are now earning the land they used to sleep on,

02:5320 million pesos per month.

02:56Imagine all the regions, we earn at least 20 million a month.

03:02We have about 17 regions.

03:07So, how much is that? That's big.

03:12Almost 300 million a month, we can generate income.

03:16Bucor is positive that this plan will be completed by 2028

03:20or until the term of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

03:24Not only food security, they are also looking for a way

03:28to strengthen tourism in the country.

03:30Luisa Erispe, for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
