The Department of National Defense (DND) has given the green
light for the transfer of high-profile inmates of the Bureau of Corrections
(BUCOR) to military facilities.
"Defense Secretary Delfin N. Lorenzana has favorably
acted on the request of Justice Secretary Vitaliano N. Aguirre II to provide
space for inmates who will be transferred from BUCOR facilities to facilities
under the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)," DND public affairs
office chief Arsenio Andolong said in a statement issued Friday.
"BUCOR will be responsible for the transportation,
logistics and resources involved in the transfer of the inmates. BUCOR
personnel will have custody over them while in detention," Andolong said.
Aquirre earlier announced plans to transfer prisoners from
the BUCOR to stop rampant corruption and illegal drugs in its prison facilities.
