Catapang says 'fiefdom' exists inside BuCor

BUREAU of Corrections (BuCor) Officer in Charge Gregorio Catapang said on Wednesday that ongoing investigation has uncovered the existence of 'fiefdom' inside Philippine prison system.

Catapang said existing problems were exacerbated when Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) personnel were deployed to augment the BuCor staff following the appointment of Gerald Bantag as the agency's director general in 2019.
