Funding NBP regionalization eyed under 2024 budget – Angara

By Nidz Godino

“Ang sabi po ng kalihim dito sa inyong katanungan is that isasama po nila sa 2024 budget dahil masusi po nilang pinag-aaralan  itong regionalization,” Senator Sonny Angara who defended  budget of  Justice Department (DOJ) on the Senate floor, said DOJ is eyeing to fund  regionalization of  New Bilibid Prison (NBP) under  2024 budget.

Angara, Finance committee chairman, disclosed this after Senator Robin Padilla asked for updates on  plans to regionalize  national penitentiary.

“Hindi po madali ito at isang nationwide ang scope o ang lawak po ng kanilang gagawin at sang-ayon po sila sa inyong kailangan na po, in fact, pabor po sila sa matagal nang planong ilabas sa Bilibid ‘yung maximum security prisoners,” he stressed.

He reiterated  plans to put up prison facilities in Mindoro and Nueva Ecija to decongest  NBP and to dissolve syndicates inside  national penitentiary in Muntinlupa City.

“Humihingi lang sila ng kaunting suporta sa atin, siyempre ng kaunting oras dahil bagong upo lang sila at marami po silang sinanggang mga suliraning nandyan na po,” Angara said.

Padilla expressed his delight on the updates provided by  DOJ, saying regionalization of  NBP is  “concrete solution” in addressing  overpopulation in the national penitentiary and the problem of drug trade inside  prison facility.

This will also help in  rehabilitation of prisoners as their families can visit  persons deprived of liberty, Padilla concluded.
