PUBLIC Attorney’s Office (PAO) chief Persida Rueda-Acosta on Monday cited the importance of the partnership her agency and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) have forged in helping prisoners return to normal life.
Rueda-Acosta made the observation at the joint flag ceremony with officials and personnel of BJMP’s National Jail Management and Penology Training Institute (NJMPTI) in Camp Vicente Lim in Calamba City, Laguna, where she was the guest of honor and speaker.
She told the NJMPTI director, Senior Supt. Ronaldo Senior, that the jail personnel’s training school contributed to the well-being of the prisoners.
“This institute is the vital instrument in honing jail officers who do not only serve as custodians of PDLs (persons deprived of liberty) but as rehabilitation officers at the same time,” the chief public attorney said.
While the jail officers are obliged to ensure the safety of prisoners while in their custody as mandated by law, “they are the first to rejoice when they know that a PDL is freed to return to normal life.”

“As our dear jail officers succeed in their endeavors, all of their mentors here at NJMPTI are happy for them and for the people who were once known as persons deprived of liberty,” Rueda-Acosta said.
“Now, we could refer to them as persons deserving of liberty,” she added.
She said the “cycle of goodness” that starts from the bureau’s training school is completed as the jail officers whom it taught and honed “extend acts of humanity in every BJMP facility.”
“Such acts of humanity have ripple effects as well to various communities in the country,” the PAO chief said.
As a result of the long-term partnership of PAO and BJMP, Rueda-Acosta said that of the 12,516,668 indigent clients the former served in 2023, some 87,656 were PDLs also released in the same year.
Rueda-Acosta pointed out that statistical data are important for PAO because “they represent people, real people with names, faces and lives to live.”
