SOME families of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) inside the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City complained to ACT-CIS Cong. Erwin Tulfo about the extended prison sentenced of their loved ones inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).

According to the group Aid-Dalaw Nationwide International Movement (AIM) there are already 10,000 PDLs who should have been released because they have completed their prison terms yet they remain incarcerated inside the NBP.

“Ang reklamo nila tila hindi agad nare-review ang mga papel ng PDL na dapat ay lumaya na. Ang problema din daw ay natetengga ang pagpirma ng release form ng PDL at hindi agad napipirmahan dahil sa dami na dapat na lumaya na rin. Isang ginang ng AIM ang nagsabi na ang asawa niya ay nasentensyahan ng walong taong pagkakakulong dahil sa kasong homicide,” Tulfo said.

The Deputy Majority Leader added, “Sampung taon na raw ang mister niya at sobra na ng dalawang taon sa sentensya sa kanya. Kung mapapalaya lang ang 10,000 na overstaying na PDL sa NBP, tiyak luluwag ang ating BUCOR.”

The ACT-CIS Partylist Representative promised to investigate and determine where the problem originated in order so solve the issue.
