STATEMENT OF SENATOR WIN GATCHALIAN ON PRESIDENT DUTERTE'S ORDER FOR NICANOR FAELDON'S IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION

The Bureau of Corrections has long been in need of cleansing and reforms. This latest blunder over the release of criminals not covered by the GCTA is just a symptom of a much larger problem plaguing the BuCor. And much like he did in the Bureau of Customs, Faeldon just made the problem worse instead of fixing it.

The first step towards reforming the BuCor is to appoint a strong and decisive leader who can reform the processes, the people, and the organization itself. The President should appoint someone who has no previous issues of corruption or incompetence.

As for the Ombudsman's investigation, it should not focus solely on Faeldon, but rather, it should include all the people who had a hand in setting free to the unsuspecting public these rapists, killers, and drug lords.
