12/31/2014 – Manila | Criminals or non-criminals, the New Bilibid Prison in the Philippines is the safest place for rich people on Earth if they want full protection, according to Sazi Parvi of Forbes Magazine.

This is after the shameful report about the scandal that was discovered inside the doomed facility, where drug lords and syndicates are operating underground business. Currently, several international media outlets are examining why the Philippine government is so dysfunctional in dealing with the said Prison.

Several findings and reports came out late this year about drug business and other contraband circulating inside the 551-hectare maximum security prison. The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has indeed confiscated television sets, firearms from prisoners, and other things believed to be used in manufacturing of illegal drugs like meths.

In addition, there were some prisoners who have managed to build mansions inside the facility, while an inmate has his own swimming pool.

Sazi Parvi, a veteran journalist and prison expert from London said places like the New Bilibid Prison are the best place for rich people. This is because no one can touch them if they feed the corrupt officials and fellow inmates. In fact, they can even run “a very good business with sure customers” inside the facility.

In line with this, Eva Onsana, a factory manager from Batangas said she don’t want to pay tax anymore. According to her, it is not right that her hard earned her money by used by the government to feed criminals, and give them better life than people outside.

On the other hand, UP student and activist Dina Lito said death penalty should be reconsidered by the government. She said she believes that it will lessen the 36,000 criminals inside the New Bilibid Prison who do nothing but sleep, eat, and enjoy life.

“The government is spending millions of pesos every month to feed and give criminals better life while people outside are working day and night just to pay taxes to feed them. President Aquino and the Congress should revisit the death penalty law,” UP political science professor Perfecto Claro said.
