The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) said on Thursday, July 29, it may soon put up a regional prison facility in Cagayan to further decongest the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa City.
In a statement, BuCor said that Deputy Director General for Operations and Administration Gabriel P. Chaclag had met with Cagayan Gov. Manuel N. Mamba for the project.
“Gov. Manuel Mamba readily agreed for the establishment of a regional facility in their province and offered 250 hectares of land located at Barangay San Mariano, Lal-lo, Cagayan,” Bucor said.
“It will only take some documentations to actually seal the deal for the realization of this BuCor project,” it said.
