FREEDOM REGAINED. Some of the 126 inmates of the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City wave as they walk out of the jail facility while the entire nation celebrates its 126th Independence Day. Justice Undersecretary Margarita Gutierrez handed over the release papers, along with a grooming kit, gratuity, and transportation allowance to the released prisoners, witnessed by Bureau of Corrections chief Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr.
Themed as “Mga Repormasyong Binigay, Natutuna’y Kaalaman Tungo sa Pagbabagong Buhay”, the activity aimed to honor the resilience and reformation of the PDLs in the “face of adversity in preparation for their reintegration into society.” “My sincerest appreciation to the hard work and dedication of Director Catapang for always making a positive impact to our corrections system,” Remulla said.
In conjunction with the celebration of Independence Day, a legal aid caravan was held in the various prison facilities and penal farms nationwide, namely, San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm , Iwahig PPF, Sablayan PPF, Davao PPF, Leyte Regional Prison Farm and the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City.
The free legal aid was part of the Katarungan Caravan which kicked-off on last June 3 in Marawi City under the supervision of Undersecretary Gutierrez.
