PUERTO PRINCESA CITY — Some 500 inmates, the first batch of around 2,500 persons deprived of liberty (PDLs), that will be transferred from the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City to the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (IPPF) arrived on Wednesday night, June 28, in this city aboard a commercial vessel. Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang, who oversaw the transport of the PDLs, said the move is part of the decongestion program of the bureau, a five-year program to eventually shut down the NBP and send PDLs to different penal farms across the country.
