Seized Contrabands Inside CPDRC Destroyed

Published

Cellular phones were neatly lined up on the concrete yard, exactly aligned with the truck’s pair of tires, as these would be destroyed by a slowly advancing 10-wheeler dump truck.

Tobacco leaves and cigarette packs, meanwhile, were placed inside empty drums and eventually burned aided by gasoline.

These items were the contrabands earlier confiscated in random greyhound operations by the personnel of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) that were destroyed last Tuesday in a ceremony led by warden Reynaldo Valmoria.

Valmoria said five sachets of suspected shabu were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-Central Visayas for proper disposal.

The jail is now home to 3,942 inmates for a supposed capacity of only 1,500.

Valmoria said that he already sought the assistance of Gov. Hilario P. Davide III to request the judges for a moratorium on issuing commitment order for alleged crime offenders to the CPDRC.

The jail warden hopes that by September the CPDRC will be able to decongest the inmates through its efforts of transferring them to district jails and to the national penitentiary.

Advocating for law and order has been one of the prime agenda of the administration of Gov. Davide and Vice Gov. Agnes A. Magpale under its banner, “Kalambuan sa Matag Sugbuanon.”

Aside from law and order, the other key development agenda are health and social services; countryside development; education and technical vocational training; environment protection, climate change and disaster management; and infrastructure development, tourism and investment promotion.
