An inquiry on Bilibid Drug Trade done ‘In aid of Legislation’
which means to help the legislators create laws in support of altering the existing
condition of the prison system in the country and NOT ‘of prosecution’ that is why most of
the resource persons (esp. convicted drug personalities) were given immunity –
whatever they have to reveal will not be used against them in court.
The recently concluded House Committee Hearing on Bilibid Drug Trade has yielded the
REALITY behind drug proliferation in our country. Summing it up:
Leniently manning the Authoritative Posts in running and
supervising the National Prison (specifically Bilibid) has made drug trade inevitably existing mainly from the
prisons as source point of transactions in the whole country.
It was also concluded that Chinese Drug Lords are the main
suppliers – finding out about floating drug laboratories in ships on sea dropping
it off in large sealed heavy enough to sink containers to be fished-out by
direct traders therein, it does not pass the scrutinizing of port authorities
to be freely circulating around the country. What a wise tactic!
- Corruption in the System
Jayvee Sebastian, who is convicted of another case than
drug-related was believed to be the latest frontrunner of the Drug Trade
admittedly stated that the main culprit of the drug menace in the country is
CORRUPTION from the lowest to the highest in ranks of the supposedly security
guardians as well as administrative officials that instead of catching them
while trading drugs had become their cohorts getting ‘payola’ bribe.
- Greed and Dirty Politics
National Bilibid Prison (NBP) is under the supervision of the
Department of Justice,
direct management of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCorr)
with the intervention of National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and Crime
Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).
If these government agencies will be headed by unscrupulous people like
what has allegedly happened during De Lima’s tenure as DOJ Secretary, the
result is WORST – like where we are in right now.
- Connivance of Authorities
If there is no connivance anything would not be possible,
there will always be the stop point but it is not hindered even by the
Department of Justice.
It all boils down to corruption.

Signal
Jammer
Because it was discovered that cellular phones can be
brought-in secretly in many ways you can not imagine – in a slipper a whole cut
beneath its back to fit the phone is really badly creative. DOJ Sec. Vitaliano
Aguirre mentioned the recent acquisition of a costly but more powerful
jammer. The only setback is its effect
on the surrounding community outside prison area - affecting phone signal.
