auan Mayor Antonio Sanchez.
Panelo was one of Sanchez's defense counsel in the 1993 rape-murder case of University of the Philippines Los Baños student Eileen Sarmenta and the death of companion Allan Gomez.Guevarra on Tuesday said the Bureau of Corrections is recomputing the good conduct time allowance of Sanchez and he might be released soon because of a 2013 law increasing good conduct time allowance and a Supreme Court decision in June applying the law retroactively.
“I have no reason to believe that the intervention of any person, including Sec. Panelo, will be necessary,” he said in a text message to ABS-CBN News. “NBP records on good conduct of PDLs had been in existence before the Supreme Court issued its ruling on retroactivity of GCTAs last June. The matter of computation of GCTAs is therefore purely ministerial,” he explained.The justice chief said BuCor is processing cases starting from 1993.BuCor Director General Nicanor Faeldon said around 200 PDLs could be released per day.
Both Guevarra and Faeldon said Tuesday they’re looking at thousands of PDLs who might be released in the next 2 months.
