In an interview Thursday after his speech during the National Summit on the Dangerous Drugs Law at the Manila Hotel, Chief Justice Lucas P. Bersamin said the DOJ and the DILG were given 10 days to file their comment through the Office of the Solicitor General .
The PDLs told the SC their petition is in behalf of other prisoners who are similarly situated and would be dis-advantaged with the implementation of the new IRR by the Bureau of Corrections and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology . The new IRR – crafted by a joint committee of the DOJ and the DILG — also states that heinous crime convicts, who were convicted after the law became effective in 2013, shall not be entitled to any type of GCTA.
An ex post facto law is unconstitutional because “it retroactively criminalizes an act or changes the rules of evidence to easily convict an offender.” “Assuming arguendo that doubt exists in the interpretation of the law, still the same should be resolved in favor of the offender,” they stressed.
