00:00The correctional leaders of the ASEAN member country are in favor of the ASEAN-wide prisoner exchange in the Philippines.

00:08According to the Bucor, more than 50 foreigners are now convicted in our country.

00:14How this will happen, let's find out in the news center of Luisa Eriz Cuelles-Luisa.

00:20Angelique, the last day of the 2nd ASEAN Regional Correctional Conference was a success here in Palawan.

00:30One of the things that was clearly discussed here was the prisoner exchange or prisoner transfer between the ASEAN countries.

00:39After sending Mary Jane Veloso back to the Philippines for her sentence,

00:46it became hot to talk to the correctional officials in the ASEAN region about the possibility of a prisoner exchange.

00:54But according to the Bureau of Corrections Chief Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr.,

00:58in the conference in Palawan, the ASEAN countries agreed that they are interested in implementing this.

01:05And what they need now is a law to officially agree.

01:09Yeah, that's one of the objectives of this summit or conference,

01:15to really stress out at the tactical level what we can do among the ASEAN countries

01:24so that we will help our policy makers make laws or amend laws that will really be helpful for all the ASEAN countries.

01:35The system of prisoner exchange, if a Filipino is imprisoned in the ASEAN region,

01:39will be sent back to the Philippines and his sentence will end here.

01:44Likewise, if a Filipino is imprisoned abroad in the Philippines,

01:47he will be sent back to his country and his sentence will end there.

01:52Maybe if Filipinos are sentenced among the ASEAN countries,

01:58they can be brought back here and they serve their sentence, just like what happened to Mary Jane.

02:06Catapang explains that if, like Veloso, the sentence is death,

02:11he will discuss if it is possible to lower the sentence for life imprisonment when he returns to his country.

02:19Sometimes, that's the first step. You have to lower the sentence from death penalty to lifetime imprisonment.

02:27According to the Bucor, they are still collecting the data of Filipinos convicted in the ASEAN countries.

02:33But the Philippines holds 54 individuals as convicts.

02:39The Bucor plans to expand the prisoner exchange even outside the ASEAN region.

02:45This is our OFW. In our case, we will pursue this.

02:50If we can do it in the ASEAN, we can do it anywhere in the world.

02:57Angelique, it is expected that the Bucor will follow the recommendations of the Department of Justice

03:03for the possible implementation of the law or treaties between the ASEAN countries

03:08so that the prisoner exchange can be implemented.

03:11That is the latest from Palawan. I will go back to you, Angelique.

03:15Thank you very much, Louisa Erispe.
