In a letter sent to Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Director General Gerald Bantag on Saturday, Dec. 19, Kapatid raised “concerns about restrictions on ‘
paabot’ or delivery of basic food items as well as essential toiletries.”
Kapatid spokesperson Fides Lim noted the Medium Security Compound at the NBP still does not accept food or essentials.
“As we have pointed out, it is already the Christmas season and since families are still unable to visit because of the continuing prison lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the NBP/BuCor should allow entry of food items and essential utilities like toiletries and rubber slippers,” she said.
