MANILA — Not all heinous crime convicts will be disqualified from getting early release under the revised implementing rules and regulations of the good conduct time allowance law, the justice depart

ment said Wednesday.

However, the IRR also cited a Supreme Court ruling that said an act will only be considered heinous if capital punishment is imposed, he said. "Halimbawa, murder. May mga pinatay na hindi ganoon ka-vicious iyong ginamit na proseso ng pagpatay. Ang ipinapataw na penalty d'yan is reclusion perpetua. That will not be considered heinous. Therefore hindi rin s'ya excluded [from the GCTA]," he added.Perete also noted that only the imposition of death penalty is suspended in the country, but convicts may still be penalized with it.
