Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Saturday requested newly appointed Bureau of Corrections director common Gregorio Catapang Jr. to control workers since a few of them could have helped inmates commit crimes even whereas they had been detained.
Dela Rosa served briefly as BuCor chief in 2018 beneath the Duterte administration.
“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,” the senator stated in a radio interview when requested what recommendation he might give to Catapang.
(First of all, he ought to verify to see who amongst his personnel is sweet or not. He ought to begin there as a result of the true drawback with the company is the people who find themselves concerned within the illegal issues contained in the penitentiary.)
“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,” he added.
(If they don’t have accomplices among the guards, those inmates won’t have the courage to commit crimes within the New Bilibid Prison, so he should keep an eye on personnel to see if they’re good or bad and take the necessary action.)
Dela Rosa added that Catapang might only be under less stress since some drug lords have passed away.
“Marami namang drug lord namatay baka hindi na gaano mabigat ang problema dyan. Okay na kokonti na lang problema niya,” he said.
(Maybe now his problem is not so big because many drug lords have died. He has fewer problems to tackle.)
Catapang was appointed BuCor chief by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. after serving as officer-in-charge for five months.
Dela Rosa welcomed this development since an OIC only has limited authority.
“That’s growth dahil kapag officer-in-charge dadami ang problema ng ahensya dahil walang full authority yung OIC na magpirma ng mga papeles at vouchers pati mga sweldo dyan magkakaproblema. Kaya maganda yun para magampanan niya ng husto yung hinahawakan niyang posisyon,” Dela Rosa stated.
(That’s growth as a result of in the event you’re an OIC, the company’s drawback will develop as a result of the OIC doesn’t have full authority to signal papers and vouchers; even the fee of salaries may very well be affected. That’s good for him since he can now fulfill his duties and obligations.) — VBL, GMA Integrated News
