The Bureau of Corrections has denied allegations that there is a humanitarian crisis and a lockdown at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City.

“Not true po as a matter of fact may dialogue tayo na isinagawa with the dalaw representatives,” Major Wena Dalagan, BuCor spokesperson, said.

The Department of Justice, mother agency of the BuCor, also denied allegations that there is a security lockdown at the Maximum Security Compound of the NBP.

“As to the lockdown, this is also not true,” the BuCor said. “What is true is that BuCor suspended privilege of visitation but for safety reasons since they are conducting demolitions.”

The Justice department assured that the BuCor would “soon lift the suspension and they are in fact preparing for the improved system to be used when they re-allow visitations.”
