A-46-year-old convict released on GCTA surrendered in Tiaong, Quezon heeding the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to more than 1,000 prematurely released inmates to surrender within 15 days or be considered fugitives. | T2TupasINQ

However, the list that the Bureau of Corrections provided to the Senate does not include the name of Santiago Carugal, the convict who surrendered.His case is not an isolated one. Four of five rape convicts who surrendered in Quezon City are also not on the list, along with a robbery-with-homicide convict.

There are also persons deprived of liberty who, based on BuCor records were convicted of rape but court records showed otherwise. On the list of 200 convicts released after June 2019, Ariel Balasag and Alberto Caño were released on Aug. 19, 2019, but the expanded list showed that Balasag was released on July 31. On the other hand, Caño was not convicted of murder but of violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act and released on Aug. 10, 2019. The two have already surrendered.

Of the over 150 drug convicts released on GCTA under the current administration, based on the BuCor list, only five have Chinese-sounding names.Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said those who would not turn themselves in would be considered fugitives and could be arrested without a warrant.
