BuCor inks pact for land exchange
The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and the University of the Philippines (UP) signed an agreement for a land exchange involving 500 hectares each.
BuCor will gain access to 500 hectares of UP's Laguna-Quezon land grant to establish a Regional Prison Facility (RPF) in Laguna.
In exchange, UP will receive 500 hectares of BuCor's land in Iwahig, Puerto Princesa City.
This partnership addresses logistical needs, such as establishing a regional prison facility as BuCor prepares for the closure of the New Bilibid Prison in 2028.
The agreement was signed on Friday, July 31, at the Bahay ng Alumni in UP Diliman.
A partnership on education access and PDL (persons deprived of liberty) workforce development was also signed between BuCor and UP.
BuCor Director General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr. stated that this agreement could serve as a model for future collaborations to enhance public service and educational initiatives.
