Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra will ask Congress for a P100 million increase in the 2020 budget of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).

“We are hoping that Congress will increase the appropriations for BuCor’s medical and communications equipment,” he told reporters.Before facing the Senate for the budget hearing scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 20, the Secretary said that he met with BuCor Director General Gerald Bantag at the Department of Justice on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

“It’s too late now for DG Bantag to ask for any new item for inclusion in next year’s budget. At any rate, he has not asked for any,” he noted. Bantag replaced former BuCor Director General Nicanor Faeldon who was sacked due to the implementation of Republic Act 10592, the Good Conduct Time Allowance law, as well as the persistent corruption taking place at the BuCor.
