ISANG email na natanggap ko noong isang linggo ay tumalakay sa matinding galit ng nagpadala sa mukhang walang katapusang korapsyon sa New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) sa Muntinlupa, na paksa natin noong Huwebes.
Narito ang ilang bahagi ng email na ipinadala ni Carlos Alonzo: “…person in charge of his department should be kicked (out), prosecuted and sent to prison for not doing his assigned job and being paid by Filipinos’ hard-earned money.
“Did you hear what he was saying during the interview on the first raid yielding long-barreled guns, drugs and other illegal items?
“He said it was brought inside during deliveries of these and those materials without his guards detecting such big items.
“For God’s sake, who does not know how this came in the hands of these convicts?
“What we need to know is what are the actions being taken to prevent this from happening again, and are they running after the guards who allowed this to happen? Who is guilty for these violations?
“The persons in charge and assigned to this kind of job are the ones making these problems. These small-time jail guards and personnel can’t have the balls for this kind of operation without the permission of the person in charge.”
Ayon kay Alonzo ay nagaganap ito hindi lang sa NBP kundi sa lahat ng ahensya ng gobyerno at tinukoy na, “As long as nobody is being punished for this corruption and negligence of duties in our government, nothing will change even with the new President we are about to elect.”
Bagaman nagpahayag lang si Alonzo ng personal na opinyon, ganito rin ang pananaw ng maraming Pilipino dahil ang gobyerno ay mukhang walang kapangyarihan na disiplinahin ang mga guwardya ng Bilibid o patinuin ang mga nakakulong dito.
Bukod sa mga baril, droga, pera at kasangkapan na nakita sa mga raid kamakailan at mga bigating preso na namumuhay raw na parang nasa bakasyunan, isang gang rape umano na kinasangkutan ng mga guwardya at maiimpluwensyang nakakulong ang naganap.
At kahit sino ang italaga para pamunuan ang Bilibid, ang mga iregularidad ay mukhang patuloy nang patuloy nang patuloy, na tulad ng komersyal ng isang baterya.
