On 12 – 13 March 2025, the Board of Pardons and Parole, under the leadership of Chairman SERGIO R. CALIZO JR. and Executive Director ARNIEL N. BONDOC, along with Ex-Officio Member BIENVENIDO O. BENITEZ from the Parole and Probation Administration (PPA), convened at the Leyte Regional Prison (LRP). This significant visit marked the collaborative efforts of the Board Members and the PPA Region VIII, which is headed by Chief Probation Officer JO ANN A. DACERA.
The primary focus of this collaborative initiative was to conduct pre-parole and pre-executive clemency interviews. These interviews are crucial in the parole decision-making process, allowing the Board to assess the suitability of candidates for parole and the potential granting of executive clemency. A notable outcome of this visit was the successful interview of a total of 178 Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).
The importance of this visit reaffirms the Board’s dedication to upholding public safety and ensuring fairness and justice in the corrections system.
