Another witness is set to reveal how inmates bought “passes” to be confined in New Bilibid Prison hospital where they could conduct illegal drug deals, according to Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go. | LeilasINQ

Go said the witness is a former government official and will make the revelations on Thursday when the Senate resumes its inquiry into the operations of the Bureau of Corrections .“He is a witness to what’s going on in the hospital itself, the payments and the transactions there inside. The illegal drug trade inside,” Go said.

Senate President Vicente Sotto III said he signed subpoenas for four to five new witnesses, which include a former BuCor official. This is one of the issues that cropped up in the course of the Senate’s inquiry into the BuCor’s release of heinous crime convicts through the good conduct time allowance law, including the aborted release of rape-slay convict Antonio Sanchez.
