On Saturday, Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa urged the newly appointed Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr. to look after its employees as some may have assisted prisoners in committing crimes.
"Unang una, tignan niya ang mga tauhan niya lahat kung sino dyan ang matino at kung sino ang hindi matino at dyan siya magstart kasi ang problema naman talaga ng ahensya ay doon sa mga tao na kung saan naiinvolve sa mga kalokohan sa loob," said the senator.
Dela Rosa underlined that personnels inside the Bilibid have a significant role in both preventing and promoting crimes.
"Hindi naman lalakas ang loob ng mga preso na ‘yan sa loob ng Bilibid, gagawa ng kalokohan, kung wala silang mga kakuntsaba na mga guwardya so talagang isa-isahin niya mga tao niya kung sino ang matino at hindi, at gawan niya ng karampatang aksyon," the former 2018 BuCor chief added.
He continued by stating that Catapang may only be less stressed now that several drug lords had died.
“Marami namang drug lord namatay baka hindi na gaano mabigat ang problema dyan. Okay na kokonti na lang problema niya,” he added.
President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. officially appointed Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) officer-in-charge Gregorio Catapang Jr. as the BuCor Director General on Thursday, March 23.
