Catapang further explained that the move is part of President Bongbong Marcos’ Philippine Development Plan, where he wants to fix all prison facilities for faster reformation of PDLs.
“We have moved the PDLs housed at the former Sta. Lucia Sub-colony to Montible and it will now be called the Correctional Institution for Women-Sta. Lucia,” Garcia said. With the arrival of 2,500 PDLs, the prison facility would also need additional manpower of at least 300, he added.
