Abuyog Penal Colony, controlled by inmates? ABUYOG, Leyte -- Corrupt Officials at the Abuyog Penal Colony allowed themselves to be controlled by big time inmate and this is maybe the main reason why a shabu factory was built inside the colony, very reliable source revealed. The source also said that the colony is already called " Shabuyog Penal Colony" instead of Abuyog penal Colony. The source who allowed to be interviewed on condition of anonymity said that big time drug dealers led by inmates Edgar Allen Alvarez, Alejandro Marco and Chinese drug dealers who were transferred from the National Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa are the known leaders inside the colony. The source also disclosed that a jail guard who tried to expose the issue, was sacked from his position. The colony got its new superintendent in the person of Superintendent Geraldo Aro. But he only lasted virtuous for few months, then has become controlled by the drug dealer inmates. The source has also said any BuCor employee that will go against the operation of these big time drug operators inside the prison, will suffer bad fate. One example is the case of JG1 Josefino Napolis who didn't want to be controlled. Napolis was ambushed minutes after his duty. Napolis, who suffered 14 bullet wounds during the massacre but was able to survive. He was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment.

The fight of the Department of Justice against production of illegal drugs inside jails, is not totally over. And, it is even getting worse. Inmates who are known illegal drug dealers continue doing their business even inside the jail. Even if DOJ claims that it has already dismantled shabu laboratories inside Bilibid, there has been no report whether the shabu production has already stopped or not. The inmates have been proven to be very resourceful. They can still do their bad business even they are locked up. The problem is, some Bureau of Corrections officials are in cahoots with the inmates. With the recent incident in Abuyog Penal C o l o n y, another problem has come out. The colony is reportedly now being controlled by the inmates instead of the jail officers. Those who are in control, are the inmates who are transferees from Muntinlupa. And, they have become more 'relaxed' now as compared inside the New Bilibid Prisons. Colony insiders have revealed that a Filipino-Chinese inmate, who was convicted because of illegal drugs, continue to do his business inside and is now even living luxuriously. He has become untouchable because he has money to keep the mouth of the Colony Superintendent shut up. Ironically, this kind of situation indicates that the government is keeping the bad elements safe inside the prison, allow them to continue doing their bad business and spending millions of pesos to keep them untouchables. The government even allows the prisoners to control the prison officials by not assigning a colony supervisor who can be bribed.

Unang adlaw sa pag-file sa COCs mingaw, pero panahon sa eleksyon botante lingaw

MAO man gyud kuno kana. Basta unang adlaw sa pag-file sa Certificate of Candidacies sa mga politiko nga dunay plano magpapili, mingaw ang buhatan sa Comelec. Matud pa ni Comelec Assistant Aaron Avila, sa iyang eksperinsya isip election assistant, wala pa sya makahinumdum nga dunay mi-file sa iyang COC. Apan duna hinoon mga pipila ka mga mag-inquire kabahin sa procedure, sa mga forms ug sa uban pang mga requirements nga angay i-comply. Tagsa ra pud gihapon matud pa, sa ikaduhang adlaw. Matud pa sa Comelec Election Assistant wala sya masayud kon unsay hinungdan ug kun unsay naa sa huna-huna sa mga politiko. **** Duna diay kausaban sa oras sa pag-file. Alas sa 8 sa buntag ang sugod ug kutob na lang 5PM dile parehas kaniadto nga kutob sa tunga sa gabii. Ug kadaghanan sa mga politiko adto na gyud mofile sa tunga sa gabii. Ambot ngano. Sa ako lang pangapas,

pa-atik lang kini sa mga mokandidato. Ngano man nga mo-file sa tunga sa gabii nga pwede man sa adlaw? Basin pud hinoon, hadlok nga makit-an. Basin pud naay trabaho sa adlaw. O kaha basin pud hinoon, ang iyang swerte naa sa gabii ug wala sa adlaw. Ang significant niini mao nga kasagaran sa mga gabiing daku mo-file sa iyang COC, may tendisya nga manlimbong sa eleksyon. Ambot lang pud. **** Karon kay kutob na lang 5PM ang mag-file, dili siguro mahimo nga mohangyo pa ang mga kandidato nga i-extend ang oras. Kon mopahangyo man gani ang election officer, sampal tingale ang iyang madawat gikan sa media. Walay hangyoay sa oras. Angay man gani tingale nga sa last day of filing, wala nay kandidato nga mo-file. **** Kabahin sa paghangyo sa mga supporters ngadto ni Mayor Duterte nga modayon na lang kini sa pagpapile sa pagka-presidente, daghan

gyud ang nagatoo nga modagan gyud ang mayor sa Davao. Istilo ra niya kana nga magpa-excited-excited. Si Senador Alan Peter Cayetano nga modagan sa pagka-bise Presidente, nagatoo man gani nga modagan gyud ang kontrobersyal nga mayor. Nagtigum ra kini og igong kusog, gahum ug pondo para magamit sa eleksyon. Ang ato lang mahibugngan kay samtang si Duterte daghan ang gusto mahimong running mate, si Binay ug Roxas halos walay gusto. Kana gani si Congresswoman Leni Robredo, napugos lang gyud kana. Sigurado ta ana. Dili lang gyud siya kabalibad ni Presidente Aquino nga mao mismo ang mihangyo nga mosugot ang kongresistang Bikolana. Syempre, kining is Leni mahadlok pud nga biktimahon na hinoon sa demolition and dirty works sa Liberal Party kon ugaling dili siya mosugot. Mao nga nisugot na lang gyud intawon. Kalooy. Siguradong pilde. Pero, sige lang. Dili man siya magmahay sa minilyon nga pondo gikan sa Malakanyang.
