00:00Immediately after the autopsy, all the inmates in the cell were taken to the justice department.
00:08According to a forensic pathologist's assessment,
00:11more than 4,000 inmates from 2020 have tuberculosis or TB.
00:18Salima Reflan was able to prove it.
00:20The current situation is similar to the situation of the 11 inmates in the cell during the pandemic
00:30who were found dead in a funeral home.
00:33The Department of Justice and the Bureau of Corrections did not want this to happen again.
00:37Therefore, from now on, all the inmates in the cell who will die instead of being taken to the funeral home
00:43will be immediately taken to the autopsy in UP, Manila.
00:47It is therefore the obligation of the state to ensure that these deaths are prevented
00:52or otherwise identify any wrongdoing or malfeasance that may have occurred
00:58and see to it that justice is served.
01:00The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime will also support this through equipment, skills, and technology.
01:08This project is designed to bring the resources available from a forensic perspective
01:20that are needed in the Philippines.
01:22According to the Bucor, since 2020, more than 4,000 PDLs have been killed across the country.
01:28The autopsy has begun and UP, Manila's investigation is under way.
01:33We are not just looking for foul play.
01:35Are there preventable deaths among these?
01:40We are seeing a lot of tuberculosis and that's very telling in jail.
01:46If there is tuberculosis among the PDLs, your workers are just as exposed.
01:52And we're seeing malignancies and it's awful because they are late stage malignancies.
02:00The new rules of the Department of Justice-National Prosecution Service
02:04regarding the preliminary investigation and inquest proceedings after yesterday's incident are now in effect.
02:10Cases cannot be filed because there is a probable cause or sufficient evidence to prove that a crime has been committed.
02:17Complaints should have already been filed in the physical court and will only be filed in the court
02:22if there is reasonable certainty of conviction or sufficient evidence to win the case and answer the accused.
02:29The Law Enforcement Agencies and the Prosecution of the Department of Circular 20,
02:35which is already part of the fiscal operations to ensure that the evidence is correct and the cases will be strengthened, are also more vigilant.
02:44Since the trial of the case build-up scheme last year, the conviction rate has increased by 93 percent.
