Reassigning erring Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) personnel to different correctional amenities would assist in disrupting their anomalous actions within the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa mentioned Thursday.
Dela Rosa, who headed the BuCor after his stint on the Philippine National Police, issued the comment after incumbent BuCor chief Gregorio Catapang Jr. introduced that he relieved 700 jail guards of the NBP Maximum Security Compound.
Those relieved would bear a month-long refresher or retraining program earlier than being assigned elsewhere.
Dela Rosa mentioned Catapang ought to be given the profit to implement insurance policies which he deems acceptable to scrub the company that he heads.
As a former PNP chief, Dela Rosa shared that he additionally imposed an analogous technique of reassigning officers who’re believed to be doing anomalous actions however there was no arduous proof to show their involvement.
“‘Pag wala kang matigas na ebidensya, you don’t have a tough proof towards these erring personnel, ang hawak mo lang ay [intelligence] report, which you understand na mayroon talagang katuturan, then as a way to disrupt their operations, itapon mo sila. You must displace them, you set them of their uncomfort zone para baka magbago sila ‘pag na-discplace sila,” Dela Rosa said.
“Tama ang diskarte na ganon. I-reshuffle ang tao. Anyway, national agency naman ‘yan (BuCor). Ang coverage niyan buong Pilipinas. So within those seven correction facilities all over the Philippines, pwede niyang ilipat-lipat ang mga tao and we will see, kung magbago itong mga erring officer na ito,” he added.
Apart from the reassignments of the NBP prison guards, Catapang said they might also file administrative and criminal complaints against some of the relieved personnel.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla described the measure as a “safety precaution.”
“It’s a perennial drawback of…the dangerous habits acquired by individuals by means of the years in Muntinlupa and BuCor and it’s only a security precaution in order that familiarity of the guards with the inmates is not going to detract them from doing their job,” Remulla mentioned. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
