BUREAU OF JAIL MANAGEMENT AND PENOLOGY Juco Building, 144 Mindanao Avenue, Project 8, Quezon City

In like of a speed that keeps developing more quickly and less likely to stop. The Bureau may further be likened to a spacecraft streaking across the sky in a grand hurry to expand a horizon. There may be some embroidery to the statement, but no less can be said to appropriate the efforts made that saw the Bureau break through limits and emerged with added feathers to its cap. What more proof can there be to support this claim that is borne by the records embodied in this year’s Accomplishment Report vis-à-vis those of the past which detail the consistently upward trend in accomplishments?

All is the end product of the passion by which the management and personnel from the star rank down to the lowest that is the Jail Officer I, not excluding the non-uniformed, have put forward in the performance of their individual tasks. While it behooves me to be expressive about our success, I am not about to forget humility in the manner by which feat has to be presented if only to project—as, indeed, it has to be projected— in the interest of public service and safety. Otherwise, those that we have painstakingly done and the spirit put forth to have them done are just altogether left to conjecture, if not to suspicion. This we do not allow to prevail, for—if it thus happens simply because we are too humble to a point of holding back those that should be known—we would be doing a disservice not only to ourselves but also to all stakeholders whose expectation of us in the jail service is as great as that of the rest in the whole society who look forward to enjoy the utmost benefits of public safety. Anyway, there is none for us to tell it all to the world by this Annual Accomplishment Report that we pride ourselves of having dropped anchor at where we had wanted to harbor at the end of the Year 2009 if we did not strive to achieve the best of what we could. It was a year marking a resounding success for us in the BJMP and from which we intend to use as a launching pad as we journey again to find another such or a larger success in the year that follows, 2010. At this time we can heave a sigh of relief for having overcome the typical obstacles that spanned the long route of the period, not because it was easy to do but because we have proven the strength of our unity to move like one in pursuing our goals. It is, though, not just relief that we feel but we are heavy with pride and pleasure for surmounting the challenges of a year gone by. Let this Accomplishment Report for 2009 be the measure for what we aim next to perform. ROSENDO M DIAL, CESO III Jail Director (DSC) Chief, BJMP

From a handful of only 500 personnel in 1991 when the Bureau was born, its manpower has

grown to 8,329 as of the last count in 2009. It is made up of 733 commissioned officers coming from

such sources as promotion, lateral entry, and absorption of PNPA graduates. The rest are non-

commissioned officers and non-uniformed personnel with the first numbering at 7,518 and the

second at only 78. They are the force that render administrative and operational services for

58,717 inmates.

The Jail National Training Institute under the PPSC at Camp Vicente Lim, Calamba City,

Laguna, serves as the training ground for uniformed personnel, while some take advantage of the

opportunities to train at the nearest regional training schools authorized by the PPSC. In 2009, 1,213

availed themselves of the mandatory training courses, while 261 took up specialized and other

courses at other venues.

As part of welfare enhancement, 1,633 personnel were extended long-pay adjustments.

Twenty-nine (29), on the other hand, were determined qualified for reimbursement of hospital/

medical expenses. Processing of claims for retirees and survivors were expedited and benefited 86

claimants. Qualified personnel dependents were granted scholarship, reaching 74 the number of

beneficiaries.

True to its policy-making functions, various SOPs, memoranda, and the like, were instituted

by the Bureau covering varied subjects. Worth mentioning is the newly implemented policy on

distinguishing jail commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers from the misnomer of

being just jail guards. Further, opportunities for enhancement of knowledge relevant to jail service

through seminars, workshops, and conferences totaling 55 activities were made available with 775

personnel taking advantage of them.

Seven hundred sixty-two (762) BJMP personnel were promoted, including 4 for the star rank.

Two (2) JO2s who passed the BAR exams were also conferred the rank of Senior Inspector thru

lateral entry. Quite similarly, 1,537 awards and commendations were handed to both deserving

personnel and private individuals for significant contributions to the enhancement of the Jail

Bureau.

Inherently particular about the welfare of personnel, the Bureau worked for the conduct of

the Penology Examinations by the CSC, and as the results were released in the First Quarter of

2009, a total of 489 personnel acquired second level eligibility, out of the total of 1,570 jail

personnel examinees. With the passage of R.A. 9592 with the Bureau working tooth and nail to

have it passed, those who were at risk of being terminated by operation of the attrition law were

given a breathing space until another 5 years.

Taking cognizance of the saying that health is wealth, like it is to the advantage of the

organization, the Bureau involved its personnel in physical fitness and health care programs. Thus

sports interests were put into action, with the BJMP Olympics taking a lead role in the same way

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

03 BJMP Annual Accomplishment Report 2009

that their physical uplift was taken care of with the implementation of no-good-health-no-

promotion scheme, as well as a nationwide drug testing for personnel.

To get a view of how much allocation the Bureau has had for the past 2 years, an amount

of P3,718,178,000.00 was received for the year 2008 and P4,192,698,000.00 for the year 2009. The

result of a comparison shows an increase of 13% in our annual budget. Further, jail personnel are

now receiving higher salary effective July 1, 2009, than that they were previously receiving.

The Bureau has come up with its Citizen’s Charter in response to the directive of the

Presidential Anti-Graft Commission (PAGC). This compliance is not without a reward at all, for the

Bureau was recognized by the PACG as the number 8 complier among the government agencies

for the first semester of 2009.

Not to be overlooked is its promotion of gender equality. Under its GAD Program, the BJMP

conducted six CEDAW and GAD trainings attended by 340 jail personnel.

For the Community Relations aspect of its function, related sectors have been allowed

access to the Bureau’s affairs. To supplement dissemination of information, it has published a

quarterly print communication medium, the BJMP in Focus. The Jail Bureau also takes advantage

of the opportunities offered by Radio and TV organizations in which infomercials are aired, other

than officers being interviewed along jail service issues.

The Bureau feels at ease, even if further needs are yet to be addressed, with maintaining

152 district jails, 99 city jails, 805 municipal jails, 3 female centers and 2 youth centers. Its flagship

program which is the separation in the management of male from female inmates has found

reality in the establishment of 54 dormitories for women nationwide managed by Wardresses.

Congestion being the perennial scourge in jails, it has been attended to appropriately –

even if minimally – by the decrease of jail population averaging 58,780 last year’s (2009) over that

of the previous (2008), or by 4.21%. As jail escape is sadly unavoidable under various

circumstances, the number of recovery should be taken account of significantly, with 20 escapees

recaptured out of 47 owing to extensive manhunt operations.

It took 2,084 personnel to assume as escort for 334,269 inmates taken to different routine

destinations as the courts, hospital and other authorized locations. Paralegal service also accounts

of having assisted legally-wanting detainees released thru early release modes, benefiting 16,703

of them.

In the enhancement of security system in jails, wardens have resorted to sheer initiatives in

providing such indispensable necessities as the CCTV surveillance cameras in the absence of

adequate funds for their purchase. For the year, 69 jails have been thus equipped. Walk-Through

equipment, in view of its prohibitive cost, remains to be desired as one of the most effective

devices for security operations.


On account of a series of Greyhound Operations or hosing down contraband in jails done

6,133 times, a large assortment of prohibited items ranging from money to illegal drugs and

paraphernalia, bladed weapons, cellular phones and other tabooed articles were confiscated.

In the matter of the CICL jail population, only 302 of the recorded number in previous year

of an average 349 have remained, or a decrease of 13.47%.

Education and Vocational Skills Training, such as automotive, electronics, mechanics,

tailoring, computer literacy and other useful trades were accorded to 4,965 inmates. The

Therapeutic Community Modality Program, a self-help treatment approach, has spread up to 83

jails, thereby benefiting 13,989 inmates. With 666 support groups in hand, 12,467 inmates were able

to avail themselves of 358 skills and livelihood projects.

With different religious denominations behind, 516 spiritual enhancement services as in

guidance and counseling have gotten through to 69,726 inmate beneficiaries. Along this purpose,

10 Roman Catholic priests composing the BJMP’s Chaplaincy Service are distributed nationwide as

a core group coordinating with religious service providers.

In such other aspects as in medical/dental and paralegal services, 21,382 and 16,701 have

taken advantage of, respectively. A PR program involving the community, the Adopt-a-Jail

program has drawn 1,298 interest groups to the vast advantage of jail administrators concerned

which translates to 78,752 inmates enjoying the gains. And, not quite similarly before, 24, 092 or 44%

of the total jail population were registered to vote in 2010 at the Bureau’s working.

To put an end to our nomadic tendency, like we dream of owning a permanent building

for our NHQ, Regional Offices were constructed in Legaspi and Cebu Cities. Construction of such is

also ongoing in Regions 1, 2, 3 and 12. In the same vein, additional new jail facilities were raised in

10 cities. We have also started the construction of a flood-resistant jail in Malabon City arising from

the release of P200 million from the President’s budget.

With the Bureau drawing more interest from provincial governments, management of 3

provincial jails was effectively turned over to the BJMP. Takeover of 3 more provincial jails is also in

the offing.

To strengthen personnel capability on SAO-related matters and enhance close familiarity

with their function, a COA seminar on property and supply management was conducted and

attended by regional SAOs, bookkeepers and accountants. This was done along with actual

inventory of firearms and other agency-issued equipment in several strategic venues.

On livelihood programs, the BJMP released P65,216.00 to support projects in Regions XI, II,

and ARMM. Those have passed the standards set in BJMP SOP No. 2008-04, known as the BJMP

Livelihood Policy.


Respect for human rights is an advocacy to which the Bureau is intimately, even sacredly,

adapted to. As such, it offers wide access to independent and international bodies looking into

the human rights condition in its jails.

Aware of the growing demands of times and needs, a Committee on the Reorganization of

BJMP Organizational Structure created for the purpose of restructuring the BJMP organizational

setup recommended the establishment of the Directorates for Inmates Welfare and Development,

Directorate for Intelligence, Directorate for Investigation and Prosecution, Directorate for Personnel

and Records Management and Directorate for Human Resource Development. It will result in

having a total of 9 directorates, which have to be replicated as divisions in the regional level.

Given the efforts made in support of the global battle against climate change, the BJMP

tree planting activities and the directive to use LPG instead of firewood in cooking inmates’ food

showcased that particular endeavor. The Bureau’s sincere concern about the ill effects of climate

change was put forward when its personnel wallowed in the deep of mud and floodwater to help

in their own humble way the victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

What more can be said that is without there in the BJMP Accomplishment Report for Year

2009?


ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE Professionalization of Jail Services

Personnel Strength

The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology has always considered its manpower as the most

important resource of the organization in helping realize its mandate of safekeeping and development of

inmates housed in facilities that it operates and supervises. For the year 2009, the number of personnel

being maintained by the Bureau is eight thousand three hundred twenty nine (8,329). Of this number,

seven hundred thirty three (733) are Commissioned Officers including the twenty-five (25) Philippine

National Police Academy (PNPA) graduates of Kaisang-bisig class of 2009, seven thousand five hundred

eighteen (7,518) Non-Commissioned Officers and seventy eight (78) Non-Uniformed Personnel—all of

whom make their individual contribution in advancing the Bureau’s mission and objectives in safeguarding

the 58,717 inmates.

Reflected above is the breakdown of the actual strength of the Jail Bureau as against its authorized strength and how they are distributed in 17 regions and National Headquarters.


For the year 2009, the BJMP

recruited one hundred sixty two (162) Jail

Officer 1 personnel by attrition and two

hundred eighteen (218) through regular

quota recruitment. These personnel have

undergone the Jail Basic Recruit Course at

the Jail National Training Institute at Camp

Vicente Lim, Calamba City, Laguna.

In its effort to continuously improve

and professionalize jail service, the Jail

Bureau regularly sends jail officers to the Jail

National Training Institute (JNTI) to undergo

the different career courses and trainings

authorized by the Philippine Public Safety

College (PPSC) that will help them hone

their expertise and know-how in jail

management. In 2009, 667 jail officers

completed mandatory and specialized

training courses conducted by the JNTI,

PPSC, NFSTC and PNP-TS.

J/SSUPT Allan S Iral and J/SUPT Dennis U Rocamora attended the Prison Intelligence Elicitation Program sponsored by Multi-National Operating Support Team at JCLEC Semarang, Indonesia last 22-28 Feb 2009 .

Twenty (20) BJMPRO-3 personnel composed of five officers and fifteen non-officers finished the 45 days rigid training on Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) and Close Quarter Combat (CQC) offered by the Angeles City Police Office last 10 July 2009.

Recruitment

Trainings/Schoolings/Career Courses

Shown in the matrix are the career courses undertaken, as well as those that are still ongoing for the period.


Seminars/Workshops/Conferences Several seminars, workshops and conferences were attended by the personnel of this Bureau

aimed at enabling them to gain new information and updates on matters relative to jail service. Below is

the list in detail, the title, duration, venue, and number of participants for each seminar, workshop and/or

conference. A total of seven hundred seventy five (775) personnel benefited from these activities.



There were

seven hundred sixty two

(762) personnel

promoted, to include

four (4) high ranking

officers appointed by

Her Excellency,

President Gloria

Macapagal-Arroyo, to

star ranks namely: J/CSUPT ALFREDO D SOLIBA JR, J/CSUPT

DEOGRACIAS C TAPAYAN, J/CSUPT NORVEL M MINGOA and

J/CSUPT ROMEO S ELISAN JR.

Early this year, JO2 Mashur S Sala of Region 9 and JO2

Jonathan Z Baltar of CARAGA passed the bar examinations

conducted in 2008 and were appointed to the rank of Senior

Inspector through lateral entry.

Morale and Welfare of Personnel

Promotion


Out of the one thousand five hundred

seventy (1,570) personnel who have not yet

acquired any second level eligibility, there were

four hundred eighty nine (489) personnel who

passed the Penology Officer Examinations

administered by the Civil Service Commission on

November 9, 2008. In addition, the long-awaited

Republic Act 9592 or the act extending for five

years the reglementary period required for the

minimum educational qualification and appropriate

eligibility of the BFP and BJMP personnel was

signed into law on May 8, 2009. We were part in

the drafting of this law and relentlessly pushed for

its approval. With this law, the threat of attrition to

our personnel was temporarily put to a halt.

Eligibility Acquisition

Salary Increase

Under Executive Order No. 811, adopting the first tranche of the modified salary schedule of

civilian personnel and base pay schedule of military and uniformed personnel in the government, as

well as the modified position classification system pursuant to Senate and House of Representatives

Joint Resolution No. 4, s. 2009, the personnel of the Bureau have now been receiving a higher monthly

salary rate since July 1, 2009.

Processing of Claims and Benefits

Although already separated from the

service, the welfare of retirees and survivors

are prioritized and the benefits due them are

ensured, processed and followed-up by the

Directorate for Human Resource and Records

Management. A total of eighty six (86) claims

were processed and released by the Bureau.

There were also a total of seventy four (74)

scholarships granted to qualified dependents

of our personnel.


Awards and Commendations

The PRAISE Committee, in fulfilling its

responsibility of promoting the morale

and efficiency of personnel, has evaluated

and adopted several resolutions for the

awarding of medals and commendations

to deserving jail officers who have

exhibited meritorious, outstanding and

extraordinary service to the organization

and helped advance public interest. Hence,

a total of one thousand five hundred thirty

seven (1,537) awards and commendations

were conferred on deserving personnel of

the Bureau as well as on private

individuals who made significant

contributions to the Jail Bureau.


Productivity Enhancement

For CY 2009, a total of 2,918 personnel were able to avail their Replacement Clothing Allowance

(RCA) which is only received every three years. Orders for Adjustment in Long Pay were also issued last

year directly benefiting 1,633 personnel. Also, 29 personnel of the Bureau were determined qualified by

the Adjudication Board for reimbursements of their hospital/medical expenses as a result of sickness or

injury sustained in the line of duty.

Grant of RCA and Longevity Pay

Our personnel’s health is equally important. To recompense the efforts of our personnel, we have

introduced various programs that do not only boost the morale of personnel but also promote their well-

being. For the earlier part of this year, the BJMP Sports Olympics was conducted to showcase the physical

prowess of our personnel in various sports activities. For the first time, we have conducted mandatory

medical and physical examination for all uniformed personnel to have a better picture of their health

condition and provide appropriate remedial measures, if necessary. Random drug testing for personnel

was also conducted in all regions to comply with the Presidential directive of a “drug free Philippines”.

Our health service is also reviewing our existing health care provider to ensure a better and more efficient

health care service for our personnel.

BJMP Directorate for Program Development conducted Personnel Health Survey to assess the

health condition of BJMP personnel and the health services provided by the Bureau. As a result, the

following are the recommendations: (a.) to work for the realization of the BJMP mobile clinic, (b.) to work

for a possible tie-up with medical centers or hospitals, (c.) to intensify programs on jail decongestion, (d.)

to intensify the recruitment of medical health professionals, and (e.) to lobby for an increase in the

hazardous duty pay of the uniformed personnel.

Health and Physical Fitness


On Managerial Capability Build-Up

Policies, Procedures and Directives

Of the policies/directives crafted last year, worth mentioning is the BJMP Memo Circular No. 2009-

03 dated 2 June 2009 re: Policy on the Use of the Term “Jail Officer”. It provides professionalism to term

“Jail Officer” and accords due respect and appropriate recognition of the Bureau’s uniformed personnel

who are skilled and specially trained professionals for providing humane safekeeping and development of

inmates. The policy further provides for the term “Jail Commissioned Officers (JCOs)” to refer to those

holding the rank of Jail Inspector and above while uniformed personnel holding the rank of Senior Jail

Officer IV and below as “Jail Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCOs).

On September 7, 2009 the BJMP launched its Citizen’s Charter, the Bureau’s answer to the call of

the National Government thru the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission (PAGC) for better public service. It

contains relevant information on the frontline services being provided by the Bureau and serves as the

standard for the delivery of services to the public.

To note, the Jail Bureau received a recognition as No. 8 among the 109 government agencies for

the First Semester of 2009 by the

Presidential Anti-Graft Commission (PAGC)

at the Malacañang Palace in terms of

compliance to the requirements of Integrity

Development Action Plan.

SAFEKEEPING AND SECURITY Security Management of Inmates

The Bureau maintains control and supervision over one hundred fifty two (152) district jails,

ninety nine (99) city jails, eight hundred five (805) municipal jails, two (2) youth centers and three (3)

female centers. The separation of management of female from male inmates, our flagship program

under Gender and Development, remained one of our priorities. To date, we already have 54 female

dormitories managed by Wardresess and female jail officers nationwide.

For this period, we have recorded an average inmate population of fifty eight thousand seven

hundred seventeen (58,717), a 4.32% decrease over last

year’s population of sixty one thousand three hundred

seventy (61,370).

Of the reported escape incidents nationwide, a

total of forty seven (47) detainees escaped. Twenty (20) of

them were recaptured after the extensive manhunt

operations conducted while twenty seven (27) others

remain at-large.

Custodial Services


Two thousand eighty four (2,084) personnel

performed escorting duties bringing three hundred thirty

four thousand two hundred sixty nine (334,269) inmates

to courts, hospitals and other authorized destinations.

The safe and orderly escorting of high-risk, high –profile

and high-value inmates is being done by the newly

organized STAR Team deployed in all regions.

Escorting Services

OPLAN Decongestion

For 2009, the Jail Bureau safeguarded an average number of fifty eight thousand seven hundred

seventeen (58,717) inmates. PNP still maintained custody of one thousand ninety two (1,092) inmates or

(1.90%) of the total population. The

Bureau has initiated a number of

decongestion programs to address

overcrowding in some of its

facilities.

In addition, paralegal officers

and volunteers are actively

facilitating the release of inmates by

helping them avail of applicable

legal modes of early releases, thus

preventing unnecessary detention

and providing inter-agency

coordination to facilitate the

immediate release of qualified

inmates. Through the

implementation of paralegal

program, BJMP facilitated the release of thirty nine thousand seven hundred forty-six (39,746) inmates.

“Justice on Wheels” headed by the Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato S Puno visited the province of Nueva Ecija last 31 July 2009. A Total of 46 inmates from different jails in the province have availed the program’s early release through applicable laws.


Operation Greyhound

A total of two hundred ninety eight point seven (298.7) grams of shabu, six point thirty three

(6.33) grams of marijuana, eighty two (82) liters of liquor, five hundred forty five (545) drug

paraphernalia, one thousand two hundred three (1,203) bladed/deadly weapons, two hundred forty four

(244) units of cellular phone, two hundred thirty two thousand four hundred sixty two pesos

(P232,462.00) amount of money, and fourteen thousand eight hundred thirty five (14,835) assorted items

of contraband were confiscated as a result of a series of six thousand one hundred thirty three (6,133)

operation greyhound conducted in different jails nationwide.

Confiscated contrabands Search and shakedown operation


For 2009, a total of two hundred nine (209) able-bodied BJMP personnel were selected and made

to undergo Close Quarter Battle Training as the initial requirement for membership to the Special Tactics

and Response Team (STAR Team). This cadre of elite, well-equipped and well-trained operatives was

organized purposely to respond to emergency situations in jails and to augment in securing high-risk and

high-profile inmates.

STAR Team

Security Enhancement

Installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTv) cameras in jails maximizes the use of manpower and easily monitors the illegal activities of inmates

Out of sheer initiatives of the Wardens, the security in our jail facilities was enhanced through the

installation of CCTV surveillance cameras, additional perimeter barriers, improved illumination and the

likes. Presently, sixty nine (69) jail facilities have already been installed with CCTV surveillance cameras.

Take-Over of Jail Facilities

So far, three provincial jails were successfully turned over to our management, namely: Bohol

Provincial Jail, Siquijor Provincial Jail and Mountain Province Provincial Jail. Bohol Provincial Jail, through

the intensive make-over program of Superintendent Felixberto Jagorin, has become a tourist destination

in Bohol. The take-over of three (3) other provincial jails is now in the process of finalization of the

Memorandum of Agreement between BJMP and their respective Provincial Governments, namely,

Romblon Provincial Jail, Albay Provincial Jail, and Kalinga Provincial Jail. This number of turnover signifies

our relentless effort to unify the fragmented corrections system in the country.

Provincial Jails taken over by the BJMP were renamed and categorized as District Jails.


INMATES’ WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT All behavioral development programs carried out by the Bureau are designed to provide inmates

with maximum opportunity to reform and enhance their self-respect, dignity and sense of responsibility.

Education and Vocational Skills Training

The Bureau has implemented formal/vocational educational

trainings which benefited four thousand nine hundred sixty five

(4,965) inmates. These are aimed at helping inmates prepare for

future employment and become more productive and self-sufficient

individual.

The various trainings include automotive, electronics, mechanics,

tailoring, food processing, basket and bag making, computer

literacy and other useful craft.

Alternative Learning Program

A total of two thousand three hundred fifty-four (2,354) inmates benefited from Alternative

Learning System of the BJMP in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd). Sixty nine (69)

inmates availed the Re-entry to Education Agenda for the Poor (REAP). Through its accredited and

Equivalency Test, many inmates are now able to pursue higher degree of education upon release.

The Bureau continues to review and evaluate livelihood project proposals and feasibility studies of

jails nationwide. For year 2009, BJMP released a total amount of P65,216.00 to three (3) livelihood

projects of jails nationwide, namely: (a) Chorizo Making of Tagum City Jail, BJMP RO-XI, (b) Oyster

Mushroom Production of Ilagan District Jail, BJMP RO-II and (c) Vermiculture/Vermicompost of Wao

Municipal Jail, BJMPRO-ARMM. These livelihood projects, which passed the standards set forth by BJMP

SOP No. 2008-04 or the BJMP Livelihood Policy, are expected to earn handsome profits this year. In

addition , for year 2010, the Bureau hopes more jails will have sustainable livelihood projects that can

provide additional income and new skills for our inmates.

An average of three hundred fifty eight (358) skills and livelihood training programs were

conducted for 2009 involving twelve thousand four hundred sixty seven (12,467) inmates, all were made

possible by six hundred sixty six (666) support groups who worked with jail administrators in the planning

and implementation of those projects.

Livelihood and Income-Generating Projects

“Candle Making” at Quezon City Jail -Female Dormitory

Bamboo Craft Making at San Carlos CJ, Pangasinan


Sports and Recreation Services An average of three hundred fifty eight (358) sports

activities and recreational activities were provided to inmates to

ease the boredom of incarceration. Some of the athletic

equipment were made available through the sponsorship of

LGU’s and other concerned organizations. Group

entertainments are also allowed for inmates as an opportunity

to showcase their talents and skills, as well as develop

camaraderie among them.

Inmates are free to exercise their freedom of religion, as such, they are even encouraged to join

the spiritual programs sponsored by different religious denominations designed to help them cope with

the difficulties of incarceration and help them in their behavioral reformation. Collectively, five hundred

sixteen (516) religious activities have been carried out in BJMP-manned jails nationwide to the benefit of

sixty nine thousand seven hundred twenty six (69,726) inmates.

At present, the Bureau’s Chaplaincy Service has ten (10) Catholic priests distributed nationwide to

ensure that spiritual-moral-pastoral care is made available to inmates and even to personnel. We also

coordinated with different religious service providers and other organizations for support to the inmates

welfare and development programs.

Religious and Spiritual Services

The BJMP Chaplaincy Service and the Health Service also provided guidance and counseling

services to one hundred forty four thousand eight hundred seventy five (144, 875) inmates.

Guidance and Counseling Services

Therapeutic Community Modality Program

The Therapeutic Community Modality Program, a self-help treatment approach, specifically

designed for drug dependents and inmates with drug related cases had been adopted by eighty three (83)

jails and benefited thirteen thousand nine hundred eighty nine (13,989) inmates.


Medical, Dental and Optical Services

The BJMP Health Service is working very hard to address the health problems of our inmates.

Similarly, our coordination and linkages with the LGUs and Civic Groups resulted in a series of Medical and

Dental Missions conducted for the benefits of the inmates. An average of twenty one thousand three

hundred eighty two (21,382) inmates have benefited from the services provided by the Bureau.

Paralegal Services An average of sixteen thousand seven hundred one (16,701) inmates benefited from the paralegal

programs provided by the Bureau. These benefits ranges from early release, transfer to other institutions,

and speedy disposition of cases.


Adopt-A-Jail Program

To date, a total of one thousand two hundred ninety eight (1,298) NGOs and civic society groups

are continuously supporting five hundred fifty eight (558) BJMP-manned jails. The BJMP inmates are

benefiting continuously from this program, thus reaching a total number of seventy eight thousand seven

hundred fifty two (78,752) beneficiaries. To name few of the service providers to inmates are the

Supreme Court, Integrated Bar of the Philippines, Parole and Probation Administration, Department of

Education/Alternative Learning System, Department of Health, Local Government of Units, Religious

Groups, Civic Organizations, Private Companies, such as Trigger Co., Uni Jewel Export and some private

individuals.

Protection of Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL)

With our strong commitment to comply with RA

9344 or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006, the

Bureau recorded a CICL population of three hundred ten

(310) or eleven point seventeen percent (11.17%) decrease

from the previous year’s average of three hundred forty

nine (349). This was accomplished through our relentless

and intensified paralegal efforts to do away with the

commitment of CICL to our custody.


Suffrage is considered as one of the fundamental rights that human beings should enjoy, including

majority of BJMP inmates. Suffrage protects inmates against disenfranchisement and removes the

prejudicial stigma of guilt, hence those not convicted should be allowed to vote on “presumption of

innocence”. With the belief that inmates have to be allowed to exercise their right to vote, the Bureau,

together with the COMELEC, the CHR, CBCP-ECPDC and other government and private institutions,

formed an Inter-Agency Working Group to ensure that qualified inmates will be able to register and vote in

the coming National Elections. Guided by a resolution issued by the COMELEC (Minute Resolution No. 09-

0307 dated May 26, 2009) and its implementing guidelines, BJMP jails nationwide were directed to

coordinate with local COMELEC Registrars for the conduct of inmates’ registration.

For the record, a total of twenty four ninety two (24,092) inmates were registered to vote for the

2010 National and Local Elections.

IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF JAIL FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Our personnel’s achievements are evenly

matched by our progress in service delivery, as we

put up new regional facilities to provide better

working spaces for our field personnel. The BJMP

constructed its own regional offices in Legaspi City

and Cebu City. The construction of regional office in

Regions 1, 2, 3 and 12 is on-going. Having our own

regional offices means doing away with overpriced

rental fees, thus bringing forth the beginning of an

end to our nomadic existence of having to move from place to place.

With the help of last year’s capital outlay, we intensified our efforts against congestion as we

constructed additional jail facilities enumerated, as follows: San Jose City District Jail, Polangui District Jail,

Catbalogan District Jail, Surigao City Jail, Cabadbaran Municipal Jail, Agoo District Jail, Roxas Municipal

Jail, Silay City Jail, Escalante City Jail, and Valencia City Jail. The new jail facility is being constructed at

Taguig City and with the release of two hundred million from the President’s budget, we have also started

the construction of a flood-resistant jail in Malabon City.

To enable the personnel gain new information and updates on matters relative to property and

supply management system, a seminar was participated by the BJMP Regional Supply Accountable

Officers, Bookkeepers and Accountants of BJMP

Luzon area which was conducted by COA Training

Specialist on April 28-29, 2009. Annual Physical

Inventory of BJMP Properties was effected at the

BJMP National Headquarters and Jail National

Training Institute to include physical checking of

the BJMPRO-II and III firearms. We have

processed documents on the deliveries of various

office supplies, materials and equipment from PS/

DBM and some private suppliers and issued them

to all NHQ offices and regional units. We have also

posted all receipts and issuances re-deliveries of

supplies/materials and equipment in the stock

card and property cards, respectively. Firearms Inventory

The Jail Bureau acquired sixteen (16) units of Mitsubishi Prisoner’s Van for 2009 in addition to the

three hundred eighteen (318) vehicles being maintained. Two hundred (200) units of the old vehicles

underwent repair and preventive maintenance.

Procurement, Maintenance and Repair of Vehicles

A total of five thousand eighteen (5,018) firearms were distributed nationwide. Nine hundred

FORMULATION OF FY 2009 OPERATIONS PLAN & BUDGET

BUDGET ALLOCATION

For the year 2009, the Bureau operated on a bigger budget compared to the year 2008, most

especially on the capital outlay with an increase of 143% in the amount of P118,580,000.00.

COMPARATIVE SUMMARY FY 2008 APPROPRIATIONS VS. FY 2009 APPROPRIATIONS

(In Thousand Pesos)


The Jail Bureau, in its

continuing pursuit of providing

excellent services and its novel

goals of developing the potentials

of its clientele, has created a

Technical Working Group and

Committee on the Revision of the

BJMP Organizational Structure.

The committee was tasked to

study and recommend additional

Directorates to the existing

organizational structure. The

move to expand the organization

of the Bureau correlates with the

increase of the number of its inmates and personnel, its increasing responsibilities, the dynamism of

services it judiciously provides, and to address the growing demand of time as the bureau continues to

evolve into adulthood. The Committee recommends the reorganization of some BJMP Directorates/

Offices which will result in three (3) additional and two (2) restructured directorates namely: Directorate

for Inmates Welfare and Development, Directorate for Intelligence, Directorate for Investigation and

Prosecution, Directorate for Human Resource Development, and Directorate for Personnel and Records

Management. When realized, the Bureau will have a total of nine (9) Directorates, which shall be

replicated as Divisions in the Regional Offices. The proposed reorganization of the Bureau complements

the proposed bill upgrading the rank classification in the BJMP. The bill, a joint initiative of the BJMP and

BFP, seeks to modify their rank classifications to place it on equal footing with the ranking system of the

Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

Personnel Discipline

Through the efforts of Hearing Officers assigned in the region and in the National Headquarters,

the BJMP have significantly disposed and acted upon one hundred thirty four (134) cases, with one

hundred forty three (143) remaining pending administrative cases nationwide. The National Capital Region

has the highest number of resolved cases at 28, with 24 cases still unresolved, while region CAR and

ARMM has no administrative case filed during the year. Of the 134 acted cases, 58 personnel were

exonerated, 38 were meted with a penalty of fine, 30 were suspended, 24 were reprimanded, 19 were

admonished and one personnel was dismissed from the service.

With the arbitration and mediation expertise of the Legal Service, we have resolved various

complaints for support lodged and filed against some of the Jail Bureau personnel who have

unconscientiously or intentionally

forgotten to give their financial support to

their respective families. With the

seventeen (17) recorded complaint for

support, majority if not all of the

complaint were amicably resolved by the

parties. While the five (5) complaints

through I-Dial kay DIAL Hotline were

dropped and closed for lack of merit without prejudice to the filing of case if evidence warrant.

INTELLIGENCE AND INVESTIGATION


The BJMP Online Assistance has also been

operationalized. It is an internet room crafted and

maintained by the Office of the Information and

Communication Technology Service wherein BJMP

personnel, supporters, correctional workers, and other

interested personalities can meet and post queries or

reply to issues concerning the Bureau. This is an avenue

for our personnel and clients to freely express

themselves and is one of our answers to the Anti-Red

Tape Law or Republic Act 9485, which calls for the

provision of clear, direct guidelines and prompt service to

the public.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

The BJMP upholds the policy of transparency by

providing members of the tri-media, the religious, the

academe, business sectors and other interested parties

with data and information on how BJMP conducts its

affairs, and by allowing them to visit our jails, look into

inmates’ conditions and/or conduct interviews with jail

wardens and selected inmates. Aside from “BJMP in

Focus”, the official publication of the BJMP, we have

strengthened further the Bureau’s positive image through

infomercials which

are being aired in

local televisions:

RPN 9, IBC 13, and

NBN 4. The 30

seconds infomercial

entitled “Paglaya”

depicts the Inmates’

Welfare and

Development

Program (IWDP) of

the Bureau showing

various clips of

activities provided by

the IWDP.


The conduct of training on various GAD-related laws for the BJMP personnel is the main priority in

equipping them with knowledge and skills in performing delegated tasks concerning the promotion of

gender and development. A total of three hundred forty (340) personnel benefitted with six (6) CEDAW

and GAD-related training.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS BJMP Historical Items

USPS Hon. Marius P Corpus examines the display of historical items while SSUPT Culang looks on.

As part of the BJMP 18th Anniversary Celebrations, a display of historical items was held to

showcase BJMP items and paraphernalia that have seen better days. Preserving BJMP historical items is

considered a proactive initiative to identify, capture, house and manage the dispersed historical items in a

single, central location to minimize the risk of losing them before the establishment of a museum is

realized.

The BJMP supports the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel,

Inhuman or Degrading Treatment on Punishment. It recognizes the visitorial powers of the Commission on

Human Rights and it does not ban independent and international bodies from going to its jail facilities and

look into the human rights conditions of inmates. Our jail facilities are always open and ready for regular

visits as we know that this is one of the most effective ways to prevent torture and ill-treatment. BJMP has

always been committed to defending and advocating rights of inmates especially as it envisions itself as a

dynamic institution highly regarded for its sustained humane safekeeping and development of inmates.

Support to OPCAT

The BJMP and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency

(PDEA) signed a MOA to define common grounds in unleashing

intense and unrelenting offensive campaign against drug

trafficking and drug use in jails. The MOA enumerated the specific

roles of each agency and outlined operational procedures to pre-

empt the dismissal of cases emanating from improper procedures

in collecting evidence which eventually leads to inadmissibility or

weakening of evidence.

government agencies to help

prevent global warming and

preserve our natural

resources, the BJMP planted

hundreds of tree seedling at the La Mesa Watershed as part

of the BJMP’s week-long 18th anniversary celebration. A

simultaneous tree planting activity was also conducted in all

The onslaught of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng devastated Metro Manila and nearby regions.

However, BJMP has always been ready to provide public service, especially at times of need. Men and

women of the BJMP volunteered their unselfish service and committed assistance in repacking of relief

goods at ABS-CBN Sagip-Kapamilya Foundation intended to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy. For weeks,

the two (2) classes of BJMP trainees took turns to assist in the packing and loading of relief goods. They

also conducted clean-up drives in six (6) public schools in Metro Manila that were inundated and damaged

by the flood.

It may now be told — the BJMP-MPC is now a billion-peso industry. Its new-found stature was bolstered by the granting in 2009 of the LBP to the MPC its rediscounting program an increase from P150 million to P250 million.

All resulted in the build-up of its capitalization to a hefty one billion pesos as appearing in the

amended capitalization from P500 million to P1 billion. With its present financial capacity, a no-waiting period in the release of loans is guaranteed, thus

contributing to a fact that the BJMP-MPC is one of the most outstanding cooperatives in the country today.
