Slay try against BuCor official fails on Skyway

Death threats in recent months culminated in a gun attack on the vehicle of Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. at the Skyway in Quezon City on Tuesday morning.

Driver Cornelio Colalong and companion Leonardo Cabaniero, both Corrections Officers 1, were unharmed. The vehicle was hit at its rear windshield, which shattered the bulletproof glass without penetration.“Catapang said that both he and Perreras have been receiving death threats since they implemented various reforms in the agency and this incident will not deter them from continuing what they started,” BuCor said in a statement.

“We are fully behind the Bureau of Corrections during this time. Acts of violence will not deter us; they only emphasize the need for our reforms. We are more committed than ever to ensure the safety of public servants and to pursue justice for such cowardly acts,” it added.
