MANILA, Philippines – Amid reports of special treatment given to high-profile convicts, the Department of Justice (DOJ) discovered 30 golf carts and electronic motorcycles (e-motorcycles) inside New Bilibid Prison (NBP) on Tuesday.
A police source, who requested anonymity, said that Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) personnel brought out several golf cart units and e-motorcycles placed inside the Maximum Security compound around 10 a.m.
The source said in a text message that some of the golf carts and motorcycles were turned over to the relatives of prisoners.
The remaining golf carts and motorcycles were placed “beside the stage of the playground near the office of the Escorting Unit” outside the Maximum Security compound.
The source said the discovery came during BuCor’s preparation for the forthcoming investigation of the Department of Justice (DOJ) at NBP.
The investigation was initiated by the DOJ amid reports of VIP treatment given to high-profile inmates inside Bilibid.
It was earlier reported that convicted drug lord Ricardo “Chacha” Camata, commander of the notorious Sigue Sigue Sputnik Gang, brought in a “starlet and TV dancers” inside his hospital room at Metropolitan Hospital in Manila where he was rushed last weekend due to a lung ailment.
