00:00Preparations in Quezon City Jail for the possible transfer of custody of Pastor Apolo Quiboloy

00:06and others, we will talk about it with Jail Chief Inspector Jarex Bustinera,

00:13the spokesperson of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology or BJMP.

00:18Inspector Jarex, good afternoon.

00:23Good afternoon, Ms. Nina and Asek Joey and to those who are following your program.

00:29So, how are your preparations for the facilities of Quezon City Jail

00:34in case the accused Pastor Apolo Quiboloy and his accomplices could be transferred here?

00:43As part of BJMP, we prepared by inspecting the facilities.

00:49So, we checked the facilities in the new Quezon City Jail in Payatas

00:54to see if there is enough space for our additional PDLs.

01:00And in our inspection, we saw that there is still a vacancy

01:04and we also ensured that the design of this is the same as the ordinary PDL.

01:10This is a newly constructed facility and the size and size of our cells are the same.

01:18This cell vacancy is also included with our other PDLs who are jailed in Quezon City.

01:25Yes, sir. You mentioned that the size of the cells are the same and there are accomplices.

01:31Who are the possible accomplices?

01:33Are these the co-accused or can other inmates also enter?

01:41The design of this cell is for 10 inmates.

01:46This cell is at least 40 square meters and can accommodate 10 PDLs based on our standard.

01:54So, it can accommodate 8 PDLs with its co-accused if our maximum capacity is 10.

02:03Although we have a custodial risk assessment,

02:06we also look at its safety and security while incarcerated in the BGMP.

02:12So, it still depends on the assessment and if its transfer will continue.

02:17And the BGMP is just prepared here.

02:20Okay. But how is the congestion rate of Quezon City Jail right now?

02:25How many PDLs is its capacity?

02:29Right now, we have 4,200 inmates in Quezon City Jail.

02:37Its capacity is 4,400.

02:40Below capacity, it means zero congestion rate.

02:44This is one of our new and modern facilities that will be operated this April.

02:52Sir, if a pastor moved to another cell because he considers himself to be high-profile,

03:01what will the BGMP do here?

03:04Is it allowed for him to be alone in a cell?

03:07But you mentioned that the system in the jail is 10-to-a-cell.

03:13In the case of the BGMP, first, there must be a valid reason or a security risk.

03:23And that depends on the assessment of our experts, especially the warden and personnel there.

03:29Second, isolation is prohibited in our policy.

03:33You must be alone or single occupancy.

03:35Because we are forced, according to standard,

03:38to isolate other cells.

03:42So we will balance the security and safety of anyone who is accused.

03:48And we will make sure that our congestion will not be affected by isolation.

03:53And definitely, isolation is prohibited in our policy.

03:58Okay, so what is your reaction to those who are saying that

04:02VIP or special treatment may be given to Qiboloy if he is transferred to your custody?

04:07In the case of the BGMP, first, we have a policy against VIP treatment.

04:16It is strictly prohibited.

04:18We are suing the warden and the personnel who will do the VIP treatment.

04:23Second, for this case, even before we inspect the facility,

04:28our Chief BGMP, Jail Director Roel Rivera,

04:32and of course, the Secretary of the DILG, Atty. Benhur Abalos,

04:36are against special treatment.

04:38And all PDLs, of course, especially in Quezon City Jail, should be treated as ordinary.

04:44In the case of the BGMP, we know our city, district, and municipal jails.

04:51It is what it is.

04:52If we have new facilities, there are old facilities as well.

04:56And there are also old facilities.

04:58If a court order is given to bring a prisoner or anyone,

05:03we have nothing to do but to put them in jail.

05:07And whatever is in that cell, we put them in jail.

05:10In the case of the BGMP, there is no VIP treatment.

05:14And whoever it is, we treat them as ordinary PDLs.

05:19Sir, looking at the bigger picture,

05:22the BGMP is suing Caragdagang Pondo for the next year's food and medical allowance for PDLs.

05:32Do we have an update on this?

05:36In the case of the BGMP, we were suing in the last budget hearing in Congress.

05:43And at the same time, the same is with the upcoming in the Senate.

05:47In the case of the BGMP, we request every year, especially after the pandemic,

05:53because our current budget is P70 for three meals per person.

05:59And in the case of medicine, hopefully it will be added for the benefit of our PDLs.

06:05And our only advocacy is to chase market prices

06:09and at the same time to meet the nutritional value that all of our PDLs need.

06:14Okay, as a last one, do you have a message or something to say to our fellow countrymen from Jaan?

06:22In the case of the BGMP, our fellow countrymen can count on us to treat all of our PDLs equally.

06:30And we will do our best to take care of all the prisoners

06:35and at the same time, provide developmental opportunities for them so that they can live a new life.

06:40That's all in the case of the BGMP. Good afternoon to all of us.

06:45Thank you very much for your time, Jail Chief Inspector Jarex Bustillo.

06:50I am Jail Chief Inspector Jarex Bustillera, the spokesperson of the BGMP.
