[Translation: That benefits everyone who is incarcerated and one of them is Mayor Sanchez because he has been in jail for a long time. He is entitled to the computation of the GCTA.]"The matter of computation of GCTAs is therefore purely ministerial. I have no reason to believe that the intervention of any person, including Sec. Panelo, will be necessary," he said.

Guevarra estimates that Sanchez and others qualified prisoners will be released within the next two months. He said the Bureau of Corrections said the release will be on a"first in, first out" basis, starting with the processing the records of inmates and detainees from as far as 1993. "New Bilibid Prison records on good conduct of PDLs had been in existence before the Supreme Court issued its ruling on retroactivity of GCTAs last June," the secretary said.

Guevarra said everyone imprisoned before 2013 is entitled to a recomputation of GCTAs earned, if any.Meanwhile, the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption released a statement Wednesday condemning Sanchez' pending release, saying freeing the former mayor was"unacceptable and totally deplorable.""If they implement this law, then we call on Congress to give victims an alternative, let them reinstate the death penalty for heinous crime offenders," they said.

The Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption denounces the pending release of former Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez.

How much down payment did you receive to be his drumbeater? Is it ok if someone ends the lives of your own kids andbe given a second chance? Bulok ka talaga!! You both burn!! 🔱🔥🔥🔥🔱

My beloved senator pakialog po ng utak nyo.baka nman nabablangko n.D lahat ng nagksala dsrve ng sec chance.hindi lang po 1 pagkakasala meron sya marami baka po kulang mga daliri nyo kung bibilangin mga kasalanan nya.Dahil si sanchez ay isang hayup na nagpapanggap na tao.

Second chance for Sanchez? What about the feelings of the of Sarmenta and Gomez families? How can you console them? Isn't it that one life sentence is equivalent to 25 years. Life sentences should be served consecutively.

Kaso HINDI nga nagbago, gumawa pa rin ng mga krimen sa bilibid.

A second chance for somebody who didn't give two young people a chance to live.

What f*cking kind of Nonsense is this.....?!

Wag kna magsalita bato baka magreretract ka sa susunod na interview.. gusto ko ng death penalty pero sa sinabi mo parang mga mahihirap lang ang masasalang sa kamatayan

The problem is most lawyers probably have clients benefiting from this law. Would the IBP stand up for the citizens or their clients? Greed/money vs. what is the right thing to do. IBP philippinelawyers DOJPH

Tena bobong Bato yan

Was he not sentenced to serve 40 years? Can he be released even if he had good conduct? Is having shabu in his cell a good conduct? If he were released many will say 'Money talks'.

Tangina mo Bato, pagtapos nyo pumatay ng libo libong buhay na di naman napatunayan na nanlaban at drug addicts kakasat ka ng everybody deserves a second chance. Bobo ka ba?

Dito mali si Bato!

SHIT is happening always in Malacanang

Panelo was the lawyer of Sanchez in the murder rape case. The victim should pardon him before he can be set free. Without that Sanchez can rot in jail.

Nanggigigil talaga ako sa butiking ito 😠

Pure evil at work.
