BRAVO ZULU Cherry Cheng Durante and Cotabato City Jail Female Dorm

Congratulations for impressive pursuit and application of Therapeutic Community Modality.

Our jails do not only rehabilitate offenders, deter crime, protect the public, and provide retribution for crimes committed.

They must also prepare Persons Deprived of Liberty for their eventual social reintegration with the most appropriate tools, skills and attitude.

The Cotabato City Jail - Female Dormitory (CCJ-FD) of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) conducted on Thursday, September 19, 2024 a “Lecture on the Plea-Bargaining Framework in Drug Cases”, as part of its Gender and Development (GAD) programs and activities for the female Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) in said facility.

City Jail Warden Jail Inspector Cherry Cheng Durante said the purpose of the activity is to foster a deeper understanding and awareness to the procedural legal concept of plea-bargaining framework in drug cases to the PDL.

“On behalf of CCJ-FD, allow me to express my deepest thanks to our resource person from the Public Attorney’s Office, Atty. Muamar Rhys T. Guiamadel for extending valuable educational opportunity to our female PDLs. Our gratitude also to the Office of MP Teng Ambolodto for his continuing support to our various activities making this event possible,” Durante stressed.

In his lecture, Atty. Guiamadel underscored plea-bargaining is the disposition of criminal charges by agreement between the prosecution and the accused, subject to the approval by the court. It is a mere ‘privilege and not demandable by right’.

“Plea-bargaining allows an accused in a criminal case to plead guilty to a lesser offense, saves time of the court and the parties, avoids risk of trial, and prevents overcrowding of jails and detention facilities,” Atty. Guiamadel emphasized.

The lawyer discussed common offenses under Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, guidelines in plea-bargaining, plea-bargaining framework in drug cases, and the probation after plea-bargaining.

MP Teng is very much impressed with the CCJ-FD headed by Jail Inspector Durante for this initiative that empowers female PDLs with valuable insights into their legal rights and options, enabling them to navigate the legal system with greater confidence and understanding.

“This lecture is a valuable step towards a more just and equitable system for all, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the lives of the PDLs. I am confident that this initiative will contribute significantly to the rehabilitation and reintegration efforts within CCJ-FD,” the Bangsamoro lawmaker emphasized.

It need not be. It can still be a win for the Bangsamoro! There is enough space for everybody.

To grow and move on we need unity and cohesion. No one should be left behind, no one should be excluded from the table.

Only those who thrive in the division of our people tremble in the very notion that our people can unite and together move forward, stronger and faster.

President Marcos and his advisers should stay neutral on the coming 2025 parliamentary elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
