The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) has recently received some 14 vehicles that will be used to help its personnel carry out their duties to persons deprived of liberty (PDL).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many new transport vehicles were turned over to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology?

    The bureau received 14 transport vehicles as part of its recently-procured items.
  • How will the recently-delivered vehicles be used?

    The vehicles, according to Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos, will boost the agency’s capacity in terms of transportation.
  • During the ceremonial blessing of the new equipment, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. said that the aforementioned number of vehicles — along with the 2,541 units of 9mm-caliber pistols, as well as 688 units of mid-range laptops — were procured to boost the agency’s capacity in terms of transportation, weaponry and administrative works.

    Further, Abalos (who had a stint at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority as chairman during the term of then President Rodrigo Duterte) also vowed to initiate transformations across all the jails and inmates in the country.

    Nararapat lamang na mabigyan ng sapat na kagamitan ang mga bantay-bilangguan ng BJMP upang inyong maipagpatuloy ang dekalidad at hindi-matatawarang husay ninyo sa inyong nga tungkulin. Makakaasa kayo na sa mga susunod na buwan ay ipagpapatuloy pa natin ang mga reporma at mga hakbanging naglalayong ayusin, pagandahin, at gawing mas moderno ang pasilidad ng kawanihan – hindi lang moderno, kundi may puso (It is only appropriate for the BJMP prison guards to be provided with adequate equipment so that you can continue your quality and unmatched skills in your duties. You can expect that in the coming months, we will continue with reforms and initiatives aimed at renovating, beautifying, and modernizing the bureau's facility – not just modern, but with heart),” Abalos said.

    Further, the interior and local government secretary likewise recognized the BJMP officers’ commitment to service, likening them to modern-day heroes.

    “The DILG recognizes the dedication and hard work of our officers who stand guard 24/7 to look after the gates of our prisons, and lead our PDLs into a life of reformation and rehabilitation,” he said.

    “We must remember that our mandate to reform and rehabilitate our inmates should start with a heart and humanity – that is the truest sense of service,” he added.
