Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on Tuesday suggested that the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) ask Congress for funds to build a mess hall outside the New Bilibid Prison’s (NBP) maximum security compound to limit prisoners' access to sharp objects.

“Mahirap talaga ma-control ang kutsilyo sa loob. Kasi doon niluluto e. Sana makagawa tayo ng paraan na pagpasok d’yan sa pagkain, ‘yung hindi na kinakailangan ng intervention ng mga kutsilyo. ‘Pag pasok d’yan naka slice na para luto na lang sila diretso,” Sen. Bato Dela Rosa said at a Senate hearing on the Bilibid on Aug. 8, 2023. Bibo Nueva España/ Senate PRIB

Relieved NBP superintendent Angelina Bautista said the live cows had been ordered by the persons deprived of liberty for their Christmas party. “So, mahirap talaga ma-control ang kutsilyo sa loob. Kasi doon niluluto e. Sana makagawa tayo ng paraan na pagpasok d’yan sa pagkain, ‘yung hindi na kinakailangan ng intervention ng mga kutsilyo. ‘Pag pasok d’yan naka slice na para luto na lang sila diretso,” he added.

But now that he is a lawmaker who can seek amendments to the proposed budget, Dela Rosa said, he can now support the creation of a new mess hall. “The chairman of this committee, he will be pushing for that at siguraduhin natin na mapondohan natin this year para mabawasan ang problema niyo [and make sure that we can fund it this year to lessen your problems],” said Dela Rosa.In a press conference after the inspection of the NBP facilities, Dela Rosa lamented that his colleagues in the Legislative do not give importance to the problems in the correctional facilities.
