MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Justice said on Thursday, September 19, that it is moving to"sanitize" the Bureau of Corrections' arrest list of heinous crime convicts released under the good conduct time allowance law. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said this at the 6th Senate hearing on the GCTA on Thursday, hours before warrantless arrests were made on released convicts not qualified for GCTAIn response to questions about flaws in the BuCor list, Guevarra assured senators that the DOJ will double check the list for errors before the scheduled manhunt begins after midnight of Thursday.
"We will come out with a sanitized list or a corrected list and we're removing those who have already surrendered because they are already in, plus those corrections that we have to make," Guevarra said. "We understand there are some people who are granted executive clemency were also in that list, some who have fully served their sentence even without GCTA, and some who were on parole. So we have to weed them out so that they won't be included in that list on the so-called fugitives from justice," Guevarra added.
