Makakapiling na ng nasa 5,000 persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay sa darating na Pasko.

Sa isang forum, sinabi ni BJMP chief Jail Director Ruel Rivera, aabot sa 3,500 hanggang 5,000 PDLs ang mapalalaya sa ilalim ng Good Conduct and Time Allowance (GCTA) Law o Republic Act No. 10592.

Sa ilalim ng GCTA, pinapayagan ng gobyerno ang maagang pagpapalaya sa mga preso na nagpakita ng mabuting pag-uugali habang sila ay nakapiit.
