EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The Bureau of Prisons was created by virtue of Re-organization Act of 1905

(Act No. 1407 dated November 1, 1905) of the Philippine Commission on
October 26, 1905 to take charge of the safekeeping of all prisoners confined at
Insular and provisional prisons and of all penal settlements, or committed to the
custody of the Bureau. Under this Act, the Old Bilibid Prison, the San Ramon
Prison and Penal Farm and the Iwahig Penal Colony were integrated into one
office. This Office was, however, renamed as the Bureau of Corrections
(BuCor) under the Department of Justice by virtue of the Administrative Code
of 1987 issued on November 23, 1989 and Proclamation No. 495 of the
President of the Philippines.
The renaming was considered critical in changing public’s perception on the

BuCor’s functions and in emphasizing the BuCor’s expanded duties. In
addition to the custodial function of national offenders who were sentenced to
serve a term of imprisonment of more than three (3) years, BuCor is now in
charge of rehabilitating these offenders into productive and useful members of
our society.
The BuCor’s correctional jurisdiction was also expanded. From the original
three (3) offices integrated as one, it is at present operating seven (7) units
located nationwide, namely:
• The New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa City;

• The Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Mandaluyong City;
• Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm (IPPF) in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan;
• Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm (SPPF) in Occidental Mindoro;
• San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm (SRPPF) in Zamboanga City;
• Leyte Regional Prison (LRP) in Abuyog, Leyte; and
• Davao Prison and Penal Farm (DPPF) in Panabo City, Davao del Norte.
While there was a significant change in functions and jurisdiction, the

organization of the BuCor remained the same.
Realizing the need to revise its organization to effectively perform its present
mandate, the BuCor included in its 2004 strategic planning exercise,
organizational reforms to strengthen its performance in providing effective
custodial and rehabilitative programs for national prisoners and requested this
Commission to assist them in the review and evaluation of its present
organizational structure.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AUDIT OBJECTIVE
The audit was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the BuCor’s existing
organization in attaining its mandate taking into consideration the following:
• expected output of the component organizational units;

• plans and targets;
• qualifications of personnel;
• manpower complement; and
• personnel general welfare.
AUDIT SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY
The evaluation covered the review of organization of the main office and the
following four, out of seven, operational units:
• New Bilibid Prison, Muntinlupa City

• Correctional Institution for Women, Mandaluyong City
• Davao Prison and Penal Farm, Panabo City, Davao del Norte
• Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm, Puerto Prinsesa City, Palawan
To attain the objective, the team performed the following activities:
• Conducted initial conference with the officials of BuCor.

• Obtained and reviewed pertinent documents.
• Developed criteria to be used in determining the personnel
complement for each organizational unit.
• Conducted focused group discussions with selected BuCor
personnel to enable the team to understand their concerns, functions
and activities, relate the responsibilities of one office to the other
and determine the estimated workload for each activity.
• Assessed the results of the evaluation.
• Validated the results of the focused group discussions through
examination of records, observation of work performance and
conduct of further interviews.
• Issued Audit Queries on matters needing clarification.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AUDIT CONCLUSION
Under its existing organization, the BuCor can no longer effectively perform its
custodial and rehabilitation functions of national offenders due to insufficient
manpower complement and inadequate operational guidelines and policies.
Its manpower complement has not been revised since it was established in 1989
when the total inmates was only 12,970. At present, it is operating 7 prisons
and penal farms with 1,293 custodial personnel to attend to the total inmates of
28,230 or an increase by 15,260 inmates. These conditions adversely affected
the BuCor’s ability to secure prisoners with reported escapees of 148 from
January 2003 to June 2004 alone. Likewise, while there were 972 inmates
released from January 2003 to June 2004, there were 212 readmitted offenders
during the same period. This condition demonstrates inadequate rehabilitation
program for inmates.
Moreover, operational guidelines and policies defining the outputs needed to

assess the attainment of the BuCor’s objectives, the duties and functions of each
division/office, the methodology for preparing plans and targets, reporting of
accomplishments, and placement of personnel were inadequate adversely
affecting the BuCor’s overall performance.
These are evident on the following cases:

• The absence of reports on issues affecting BuCor’s operation such as reports
on associated risks and the problems encountered due to absence of a
psychologist and sociologist to assess the inmates’ conditions and recommend
appropriate rehabilitation treatment; the inadequacy and poor conditions of
dormitories, hospital equipment and facilities; and insufficiency of custodial
personnel and supplies to be provided to inmates.
• The failure of all offices/units of the agency, except for the agro industry
function, to submit yearly plans and targets. These offices/units are therefore
not properly guided and informed of the expected output to be delivered. The
absence of plans also hinders an effective evaluation of the units/offices’
performance and assessment of attainment of the BuCor’s overall objective.
The accomplishment reports likewise lack information needed to facilitate
effective performance evaluation.
• Inadequate qualification standards to ensure recruitment and placement of

appropriate personnel. At present, it is using the Civil Service Commission’s
general qualification standards for government employees. There is, however,
a need to define the specific qualifications that would suit the need of BuCor to
ensure that personnel hired possess qualifications relevant to their positions.
4
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Placement of 161 or 9% of the total 1,769 personnel evaluated by the team to

divisions/sections other than their designated positions and performing duties
and responsibilities not related to their positions, job descriptions and
qualifications. There were, likewise, no standards on the designation of
personnel assigned to head operating offices/divisions/ units. Personnel of
different positions and salary grade levels were designated to these positions
creating an imbalance on supervisory positions and the effective discharge of
duties and responsibilities.
These conditions contributed to the BuCor’s failure to provide the standard

services and accommodation to be provided to inmates within the context of
humane treatment. Most inmates were confined in overcrowded and dilapidated
dormitories which are below the UN standard. Bed bunks were insufficient
leaving inmates to sleep on the floor using mats or cartons along the aisles in
between bed bunks.
In addition, the BuCor’s custodial position are classified as civilian positions
with salary grades lower than that of BJMP personnel who are classified as
uniformed personnel. Both offices are performing the same functions of
custodial, rehabilitation and maintenance of national offenders with BJMP in
custody of those sentenced for three years and below and BuCor for those
sentenced above three years.
Likewise, the BuCor’s position titles for custodial personnel are no longer
descriptive of their functions. The Prison Guard position was principally
anchored on the BuCor’s former name which is the Bureau of Prisons.
Since the foregoing deficiencies in the organization of the BuCor would greatly
affect the effective performance of its functions, the team recommended
measures to address these concerns for its consideration.
MANAGEMENT’S REACTION TO AUDIT OBSERVATIONS
The results of the evaluation were transmitted to the BuCor Director, Atty.
Vicente G. Vinarao for comments on January 21, 2005. On January 31, 2005,
Director Vinarao submitted the following comments:
“ We wish to acknowledge and thank you for your best effort in conducting an
audit of the organizational structure of the Bureau of Corrections. The audit
findings and recommendations derived from the study will help the BuCor
improve and effectively carry out its mandate of rehabilitating national
offenders and ensuring their safe custody while on confinement.
The BuCor’s action plan for 2005 and the COA recommendations will set
the pace for the implementation of the various action programs to
continuously upgrade the corrections service.”

THE BUREAU OF CORRECTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Corrections in the Philippines started during the Spanish regime. The main
penitentiary was the Old Bilibid Prison in Oroqueta, Manila which was
established in 1847 pursuant to Section 1708 of the Revised Administrative
Code. It was formally opened by a Royal Decree in 1865. About four years
later or on August 21, 1869, the San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm in
Zamboanga City was established to confine Muslim rebels and recalcitrant
political prisoners opposed to the Spanish rule. The facility, which faces Jolo
Sea, has the Spanish-inspired dormitories and originally sat on a 1,414-hectare
property.
When the Americans took over in the 1900s, the Bureau of Prisons was created
under the Re-organization Act of 1905 (Act No. 1407 dated November 1, 1905)
as an agency under the Department of Commerce and Police. It also paved the
way for the re-establishment of the San Ramon Prison in 1907 which was
destroyed during the Spanish-American War. On January 1, 1915, the San
Ramon Prison was placed under the auspices of the Bureau of Prisons and
started receiving prisoners from Mindanao.
Even before the rebuilding of the San Ramon Prison, the Americans established
in 1904, the Iuhit Penal Settlement (now Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm) on a
sprawling reservation of 28,072 hectares. It was located on the westernmost
part of the archipelago and far from the main islands to confine incorrigibles
whom the government had found little hope of rehabilitation. The area was
expanded to 41,007 hectares by virtue of Executive Order No. 67 issued by
Governor Newton Gilbert on October 15, 1912.
There are other penal colonies established during the American occupation. On
November 27, 1929, the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) was created
under Act No. 3579 while the Davao Penal Colony in the Southern Mindanao
was opened in 1932 under Act No. 3732. The CIW was created to provide
separate facilities for women offenders and to cater to their special needs. Until
to date, it is the lone women’s prison in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, owing to the increasing number of committals to the Old Bilibid

Prison in Manila, the New Bilibid Prison was established in 1935 in a southern
suburb called Muntinlupa. The old prison was transformed into a receiving
center and as a storage facility for farm produce coming from the colonies. It is
presently abandoned and placed under the jurisdiction of the Public Estates
Authority.
7
After the American occupation, two more penal institutions were constituted.
These were the Sablayan Penal Colony in Occidental Mindoro under
Proclamation No. 72 issued on September 26, 1954 and Leyte Regional Prison
under Proclamation No. 1101 issued on January 16, 1973.
The Bureau of Prisons was renamed Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) under the
Administrative Code of 1987 issued on November 23, 1989 and Proclamation
No. 495 of the President of the Philippines. It is one of the agencies under the
supervision and control of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
MANDATE AND FUNCTIONS
The principal mandate of BuCor is to carry out the institutional rehabilitation

program of the government for national offenders and ensure their safe custody.
The agency is a confinement place for persons penalized with a conviction of
three years and above in their maximum sentence.
To carry out its mandate, the BuCor undertakes the following:
• Confine persons convicted by the courts to serve a sentence in national

prisons;
• Keep prisoners from committing crimes;
• Provide humane treatment by supplying the inmates’ basic needs and
implementing a variety of rehabilitation programs designed to change
their pattern of criminal or anti-social behavior; and
• Engage in agro-industrial projects for the purpose of developing prison
lands and resources into productive bases or profit centers, developing and
employing inmate manpower skills and labor, providing prisoners with a
source of income and augmenting the BuCor’s yearly appropriations.
THE ORGANIZATIONAL SET-UP
At present, the BuCor is headed by a Director and assisted by one Assistant

Director, for administration and rehabilitation and another one for prisons and
security. Another Assistant Director in charge of anti-organized crime
enforcement was created in 2003 by collapsing six (6) unfilled positions. This
position is, at present, vacant.
The BuCor is operating with six support offices and seven operating units. The
levels and lines of authority are depicted in the table presented on the next page.

PERFORMANCE/ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR CY 2003
The BuCor’s reported accomplishments are categorized into two major final
outputs, namely: 1) custody, maintenance and rehabilitation services; and 2)
agro-industries operations services. The highlights of reported
accomplishments follow:
• Custody, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Services
¾ Prisoners Maintained
As of December 2003, the BuCor maintained 26,792 inmates of which

around 62% were confined at NBP in Muntinlupa City with 92%
congestion rate. The lone women prison (CIW) is lightly congested due
to the construction of additional one (1) unit dormitory.
¾ Admission and Classification
During the year, the Reception and Diagnostic Centers admitted and
classified 4,734 inmates. Out of this number, 4,564 or 96% are
committed from courts, 147 are inmates who are previously discharged
but re-admitted and 23 are inmates on parole or already pardoned out.
Recidivism or the return to prison of inmates previously released
remained at 4 to 5% of the total inmate admission for the last 10 years.
¾ Security Programs
At the NBP Maximum Compound, the BuCor conducted an intensive

program against contrabands which resulted in the confiscation of
significant numbers of cell phones, deadly weapons, drugs, liquors and
gambling paraphernalia. The BuCor also initiated the demolition of
“kubols” to deter the alleged shabu factory and deadly weapons armory.
The Intelligence and Investigation Tasked Force was created to
strengthen the intelligence network of the BuCor. For security, all
shanties and quarters of employees near the perimeter fence were
demolished.
Escort guards were charged for infidelity in the custody of prisoners,

while cases were filed against inmates for Evasion of Sentence Service.
The BuCor’s effort to recapture escapees through proper coordination
with other local government units resulted in the recapture of 30
fugitives who escaped during the year and another 40 escapees from
previous years.
17
¾ Processing of Inmates Carpetas for Releases
The expanded record computerization system facilitated the processing

of carpetas and submission to the Board of Pardons and Parole (BPP).
A total of 6,414 inmate carpetas were forwarded to the BPP while 2,907
or 11% of the total inmate population were released during the year.
¾ Death Convicts
There were 1,014 death convicts as of December 31, 2003 but execution
by lethal injection were not conducted.
¾ Shipment/Transfer of Inmates
To ease congestion problem at NBP, the continued transfer of inmates

to the penal farms was undertaken. This complements inadequate
manpower to support the operation of agro-industries in the penal farms.
A total of 1,397 inmates were transferred to the different prison farms
broken down as follows:
Penal Farm No. of Inmates
Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm 553

Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm 582
Davao Prison and Penal Farm 22
Leyte Regional Prison 166
Philippine Military Academy * 74
Total 1,397
* Inmates from NBP-Medium Security Compound who were utilized in the
maintenance of the Philippine Military Academy Compound.
¾ Inmate Discipline
There were 945 inmates administratively charged and 1,075 inmates

criminally charged by the Board of Discipline for breach of prison rules
and regulations. These inmates were either sentenced for additional
years in prison or lost their Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) in
addition to withholding of some privileges.
¾ Education and Skills Training
As part of its rehabilitation program, the BuCor conducted the following

education and skills training programs:
Formal education - At the NBP Medium Security Camp, the

BuCor offers elementary and high school education and BS in
Commerce (major in Entrepreneurship) to inmates who intend to
pursue college degree education. The elementary school education
also started in other penal farms in coordination with nearby public
elementary schools.
18
Non-Formal Education or Adult Literacy Class - Under this

program, numeracy, reading and writing classes were offered to
inmates. This also includes applied and skills training being
undertaken in all prisons and penal farms. It was reported that
6,157 inmates participated in this program during the year.
Vocational Training - This was undertaken at NBP Medium

Security Camp in coordination with Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) through formal and on-the-job
training program. The evening class was also offered to
accommodate more inmate enrollees. About 23% of the total
population participated in this program. There are 55 teaching
personnel and 107 inmate teaching aides that facilitate the program.
Enrollees in any educational programs are exempted from transfer
to other prison and penal farm to ensure continues study.
Muntinlupa Juvenile Training Center - This is a joint project

between JICA and DOJ, designed to train juvenile inmates on
vocational skills as a follow up program of the Therapeutic
Community Center. There are now 21 inmate recipients under this
program.
¾ Sports
To lessen stressful effect of confinement and maintain physical fitness,

the BuCor engaged into various recreation and sports activities for
inmates. Community participation in various sports tournaments and
athletic competitions is encouraged with donations of athletic supplies
and uniforms from private groups and NGOs.
¾ Religious Guidance
As an integral part of reformation process, religious organizations and

civic volunteers continued to cater the spiritual needs of prisoners.
There were 262,108 worship and spiritual formation activities
conducted and participated in by inmates. The inmate congregation is
composed of 97% Christians and 3% Muslims. Nearly all prisoners are,
in one way or another, involved in religious activities. Other services
offered by religious and civic volunteers are being handled by the
Chaplaincy Office.
¾ Drug Testing and Detoxification
While awaiting for the renewal of drug testing license, suspected drug
users were examined in coordination with other authorized persons or
body and inmates found positive as users were treated at the Narcotic
and Detoxification Unit of the NBP Hospital. There were inmates who
voluntarily submit themselves to this treatment.
19
¾ Therapeutic Community Center
This is a rehabilitation center designed to modify the behavioral

dysfunction of drug dependent inmates. This was introduced in all
prison and penal farms. Spiritual and vocational activities were
incorporated in the program including on the job training in
coordination with Samsung Philippines Co. The 21 youthful offenders
undergoing training at the Muntinlupa Juvenile Training Center were
recipients of this program.
¾ Provisions of Inmate Basic Needs
A total of P311.708 M was expended in CY 2003 to address the 26,792

inmates basic needs. This is equivalent to P946 monthly subsidy per
inmate to cover items as shown below:
Item Cost
Food Ration at P30/day/inmate for 365 days P 293,372,400

Medicine at P1.00/day/inmate for 365 days 9, 779,080

TOTAL P 311,708,640
¾ Inmate Health Care
The inmates’ medical and dental needs are generally attended to in the
prison hospitals/infirmaries. In cases where facilities and equipment
were not available at prison hospitals, the inmates were referred to
outside hospitals subject to DOJ approval.
• Agro-industries
¾ Work and Livelihood Programs
There were 8,874 inmates deployed in different work areas equivalent

to employment rate of 33%. A great number are inmates hired as banana
plantation workers by TADECO who were receiving an average
monthly compensation of P2,379. Inmates working in prison agro-
industries are compensated as much as P300 monthly as provided for in
the General Appropriations Act, while prisoners assigned to various
offices to work as janitor, messenger, typist and perform other
administrative odd jobs are paid from P100 to P200 a month.

¾ Production Income
The BuCor reported a production income of P28,749,432 or 2% higher

than last year. The biggest single contributor was TADECO with a total
contribution of P10,831,391. This income augments the BuCor’s
budget for inmates’ subsistence and improvement of prison facilities.

At NBP, the income raised from P1,045,591 in 2002 to P3,726,448 in

2003 equivalent to 256% increase. This is due to the effort of the
administration in tapping all resources to generate income such as the
operation of stalls and sidewalk vendors, the increase from P 120,000
to P700,000 in the annual production share from Samsung and from
P1,100 to P3,000 in the monthly share from G-4 Foodmart. The Joint
Venture Agreement between TADECO and BuCor was also renewed
for another 25 years stipulating a rental increase from P7,927,470 to
P26,541,809 annually or an increase of 237 % to take effect on
September 26, 2004.
These income are being accounted for under Fund 284 with a bank

Well-defined Expected Output
27
WELL-DEFINED EXPECTED OUTPUT
INTRODUCTION
An agency to be effective should have a clear understanding of its mandate and

objective and a well-defined policies and strategies to perform such mandate
and attain its objective. These policies and strategies should be clearly
established in an organizational structure with well-defined functions and
outputs, all contributing to the attainment of the specific goal.
As discussed earlier, the BuCor is charged with the custody and rehabilitation
of offenders with the ultimate objective of providing them humane treatment
and preparing them to be productive members of the society upon release. This
function is primarily the responsibility of the Prison and Penal Farms (PPFs).
To attain this objective, the PPF should be structured in such a way that each
office/ section would perform a function and produce an output clearly linked to
such objective.
Review of the BuCor’s organizational structure, however, showed that the

outputs to be rendered by each section were not clearly defined. As a result,
there were certain outputs/functions crucial in the BuCor’s operations which
were not being rendered at present as these were not specifically assigned to
any office/section.
OBSERVATION
The outputs to be rendered by each office/section were not clearly defined.

This contributed to the failure of the BuCor to secure inmates as shown in the
reported escapees of 148 from January 2003 to June 2004 alone. In addition,
while there were 972 inmates released from January 2003 to June 2004, there
were 212 readmitted offenders during the same period. This condition
demonstrates the failure of BuCor to provide adequate rehabilitation program
for inmates. Moreover, it failed to ensure that standard services and
accommodation to inmates within the context of humane treatment are
provided.
Under the 1987 Administrative Code and Proclamation No. 495, the BuCor’s
principal task is rehabilitation of prisoners. It is also mandated to exercise the
powers and functions of the then Bureau of Prisons or as may hereafter be
provided by law. As defined under the 1917 Administrative Code, the Bureau
of Prisons is responsible for the safekeeping of public offenders. The BuCor is
committed to provide humane treatment by supplying the inmates’ basic needs
and implementing a variety of rehabilitation programs designed to change their
pattern of criminal or anti-social behavior.
28
It was also prescribed in the Code that the BuCor should operate with divisions
and seven operating units. The Code did not, however, provide for the specific
functions and responsibilities of each division/unit.
Records and observations on the prisons’ conditions would show that the BuCor
at present could not be considered effectively discharging its mandate. The
inmates were not properly secured as shown in 148 recorded escapees from
January 2003 to June 2004. In addition, while there were 972 inmates released
from January 2003 to June 2004, there were 212 readmitted offenders during
the same period. This condition demonstrates the failure of BuCor to provide
adequate rehabilitation program. Likewise, it failed to provide the basic needs
of inmates within the context of humane treatment.
This is partly due to failure of BuCor to formulate adequate policy guidelines or

regulations clearly defining the outputs expected to be delivered by each
division/unit. Although the units’ functions were prescribed in the
organizational chart, these functions were not sufficient to warrant the delivery
of the expected output within the BuCor’s mandate.
These deficiencies resulted in the failure of certain units to submit reports on

critical issues affecting the BuCor’s overall performance as illustrated below:

Critical Outputs Not Delivered/Rendered

Reception and Diagnostic Center Reports on associated risks and the

problems encountered on inmates due to
absence of a psychologist and sociologist in

visited, to evaluate the psychological and
sociological behavior of inmates. The
rehabilitation and treatment program could
be better rendered and assessed by qualified
personnel. It is noted that there is one
approved position for psychologist which
remained unfilled as of to date.
The RDC was also considered overcrowded

considering the United Nations (UN)
standards of at least three (3) square meters
sleeping area per prisoner. It has 26 prison
cells with an area of 47 square meters each
housing 1,028 prisoners. This is equivalent
Reception and Diagnostic Center Bldg. to a sleeping area ranging from .78 to 1.88
Located at Camp Sampaguita, square meters only. Moreover, 464 inmates
NBP Reservation were not provided with bed bunks. These
inmates sleep along the aisles using mats or
cartons.

General Reports on the existing condition of the prison cells particularly the presence of
Services dilapidated dormitories and inadequate bed bunks, and associated risks on
Section psychological behavior and deteriorating health condition of inmates due to failure
of the government to provide humane treatment.
As provided for under Sec. 4 of the Operating Manual, all accommodations for the
use of inmates shall meet the requirements of sanitation and hygiene with emphasis
on adequate ventilation, living space and lighting. Bathrooms and washing areas
shall be provided in every prison facility. All areas regularly used by inmates shall
be properly maintained and kept clean at all times.
Ideally and in accordance with the UN standards, a jail must provide at least 3
square meters sleeping area for every inmate.
It was, however, observed that this standard has not been met as explained below:
• Facilities in several dormitories at DPPF and IPPF were not properly

maintained: roofs and walls were dilapidated and bed bunks were inadequate:

with the UN standards of providing at least 3 square meters of cell space
for every inmate. These 5 cells could provide 4 to 15 square meters for
every inmate.
On the other hand, the space provided for each inmate in 131 cells ranged
from .57 square meter to 2.88 square meters only. Moreover, the bed bunks
in most dormitories were not sufficient to accommodate all inmates. The
inmates who were not accommodated were using their personal folding

Custodial Reports on inadequacy of guards, the associated risks and the measures being
undertaken to ensure the safety of prisoners and adequacy of rehabilitation
programs for inmates under the following conditions:
• Assigning one prison guard in two posts;
• Giving priority to court hearings to avoid contempt of courts at the expense
of inmates’ scheduled check up;
• Assigning the Commander of the Guard (COG) as the Visiting Hall Officer
and inmates detailed for office works to escort another inmate on several
hearings;
• Allowing only one guard to escort 6 inmates under medium security and 10
inmates under minimum security working outside the prison detention area.
• Absence of evaluation on the adequacy and appropriateness of
rehabilitation programs for inmates;
• The present ratio of Prison Guards per shift at the NBP is as low as one
guard for every 323 inmates:

These conditions adversely affected the ability of BuCor to secure prisoners with
reported 148 escapees from January 2003 to June 2004 alone. Likewise, while there
were 972 inmates released from January 2003 to June 2004, there were 212
readmitted offenders during the same period. This condition demonstrates the
failure of BuCor to provide adequate rehabilitation program for inmates.
Medical Reports on inadequacy and poor condition of hospital equipment and facilities and
the associated risks. As part of the prison rehabilitation, the inmate shall be
guaranteed access to health services. Health care and services to be provided to
inmates shall be similar to those available in free community and subject to prison
regulations.
At present, the available beds at the NBPH, a secondary hospital, were inadequate
to accommodate sick inmates and is already at a deteriorating state as discussed
as follows:
• The NBPH has an authorized bed capacity of 500 but the as-built capacity is 442
or 88% only. Of the 442 as-built capacity, only 282 beds were available with 40
beds not serviceable. The average number of in-patients per day for 2003 was
437, or the serviceable beds were short by 195 on the average. The 282 beds
were distributed to the different wards as follows:

• To augment this condition, the inmates brought along their own folding beds or
stay on the floor using cartons as mats.
• Water supply is scheduled for only two hours a day except when there is an on-
going operation.
• Additional wing is needed to increase bed capacity and facilities need to be

reconstructed. The hospital building built several decades ago has deteriorated
with some structures now partially damaged and can already be considered as
hazardous.
• Surgical Ward is utilizing steel beds but in very limited number while Medical
Ward is still using wooden bed bunks that can be easily infested with bedbugs
and other rodents. Only half of the number of wooden bed bunks are
serviceable.
• The daily allowance for medicine is only P 1.00 per inmate.

Office/

The following are the existing conditions in DPPF hospital:
• The roof of the Medical Ward is dilapidated and the area is flooded during rainy
season. There are no windows and doors installed.
• The Doctor’s quarter needs complete renovation. Water supply facilities need
rehabilitation. Toilet facilities are lacking to accommodate inmate attendants and
hospital visitors.
• The Chief of Hospital, Medical Officer III and the nursing staff could not cope
with the present hospital clientele considering an average population of 3,654
inmates, employees, inmates’ dependents, and colony residents.
• The hospital has no Psychologist and Psychiatrist whose services are needed in
the rehabilitation of offenders. The sick inmates are prone to psychosis which
will entail additional expenses and pose security risk when treated outside the
prison compound.
• There is no Medical Technologist to perform basic and routine laboratory

examinations. At present, the available laboratory instruments and equipment
are being operated by an inmate who is a BS Medical Technology graduate.

Supply Reports on inadequacy of T-shirts supplied to inmates as among the basic needs to
Division be provided to inmates and the associated risks.
The BuCor’s Operating Manual provides that the newly admitted inmate shall be
issued two (2) T-shirts. The color of the uniform to be issued shall be based on his
security classification, as follows: tangerine for maximum security; blue for
medium security; and brown for minimum security. It was not stipulated on the
BuCor’s policy on how often the inmates should be given Tshirts. Inquiry disclosed
that ideally, each inmate should be provided with two (2) T-shirts annually.
Review of the Supply Ledger Card/Stock Card covering CYs 2002 and 2003, and
the first quarter of CY 2004 revealed that out of the total needs of 103,888, only
76,822 were issued. Moreover, these T-shirts were not equitably distributed to the
different operating units. Apparently, the distribution was not based on the number
of inmates per security classification , as illustrated on the next page:

Chapter II
Effective Target Setting
40
EFFECTIVE TARGET SETTING
INTRODUCTION
An organization to effectively perform should be guided by well organized and

developed plan of action depicting the methodology for achieving a set of
objectives. As this plan should be implemented by different support and
operating units, there should be established policies and procedures on how
these units should prepare their respective plans and set their targets.
The presence of well prepared plans and targets would provide a basis for the
conduct of performance evaluation. This also helps the agency reduce risks,
allow early detection of problems or variances of targets and accomplishments,
and institute measures for improvement of its operation.
An effective plan must include certain essential requirements such as:
• The specific objective intended to be attained;

• A strategy on how to attain such objective;
• A quantifiable target;
• The basis/criteria used in setting such target;
• A schedule of implementation as a plan necessitates action within a
specified period;
• Identification of persons responsible in its implementation; and
• An assessment of manpower capability to implement the plan.
Review of existing policies and procedures, however, revealed that there were
no policies established on the manner of preparing plans and targets. As such,
except for the agro industry section, all other offices/sections do not have any
plans or targets to be delivered/accomplished during the year.
Moreover, the team also noted that out of the 390 hectares available for rice,
corn, vegetable and fishery production, only 190 hectares equivalent to 49%
were included in the agro industry section plans of the IPPF. There were no
explanations provided on the hindrance of maximizing the utilization of
available resources for production.
OBSERVATION
The BuCor has yet to establish policies and guidelines on the preparation of
plans and targets. As a result, except for the agro industry section, all
sections/offices do not have yearly plans and targets to be
delivered/accomplished during the year. The absence of plans and targets
would not provide parameters from where performance could be measured.
41
The plans and targets of agro industry section could likewise not be
considered ideal. Out of the 390 hectares available for production and
development at the IPPF, only 190 hectares equivalent to 49% were included
in the plan.
It is an accepted principle that the attainment of any objective is dependent on

good planning and well established target setting. A plan and a target could,
however, not be properly established without prescribed policies and standards
defining the parameters and guidelines for its preparation. These policies and
guidelines should clearly define the following:
• basis/criteria for setting targets taking into consideration the

existing resources;
• information/data to be reported such as strategies, activities and
expected outputs;
• time frame of project implementation;
• deadline for reporting accomplishments; and
• assessment of existing condition and recommended measures to
be undertaken.
The audit, however, disclosed that as of October 20, 2004, the BuCor has no
policies and guidelines on the preparation of plans and targets. As a result,
except for the agro industry function, all offices/sections were not submitting
plans and targets. This condition leads to the difficulty of evaluating the
reported accomplishment of each section as there were no parameters from
where such reports should be measured.
The plans submitted by the agro industry section of the IPPF could likewise not
be considered ideal. It did not include the total area available for production as
illustrated below:
Production Available Targeted

Area (in has.) (in has.) Difference
Rice 185 160 25

Corn 84 10 74
Asstd. Vegetable 78 10 68
Fishery 43 10 33
Total 390 190 200
It maybe noted that out of 390 hectares available for production, only 190
hectares equivalent to 49% were included in the plan. This was contrary to the
objective of the IPPF of maximizing the utilization of all available resources for
production and making available land in the penal farm productive and
profitable.
42
At present, each office/division/operating unit prepares monthly, quarterly,

semi-annual and annual reports to be submitted to the Office of the Director
thru the Management Division containing the following information:
Function Contents of Report
Custody and • No. of inmates maintained and congestion rate in

Maintenance each operating unit
• No. of inmates admitted and classified
• Security programs
- Intensive programs against contrabands
- Suspension of stay visitors during Saturdays
- Effort to recapture escapees
• No. of inmate carpetas forwarded to the Board of
Pardons and Parole and no. of inmates released
• No. of inmates executed by lethal injection
• No. of inmates transferred to ease congestion
• No. of inmates administratively charged by the Board
of Discipline
• Basic needs provided to inmates and the total cost per
inmate
• No. of inmates provided with health services.
Rehabilitation • No. of inmates enrolled, dropped/released, graduated

and Treatment and balanced in formal and non-formal education
Program programs.
• No. of juvenile inmates trained on vocational skills.
• No. of inmates who participated in various sports
activities.
• No. of worship and spiritual formation activities
conducted and participated in by inmates, and other
services offered by religious and civic volunteers
handled by the Chaplaincy Office.
• Examination of suspected drug users, drug
detoxification and treatment for those found positive
as users
• No. of Therapeutic Community recipients by prison
and penal farm.
Agro-industries • No. of inmate workers given compensation

• Production income generated by the seven operating
units and TADECO
• Bank balance of Fund 284 as of October 31, 2003
43
These reports, however, did not provide vital information on the following
issues:
• existing condition of the facilities within the prison’s

reservation area particularly inmate’s dormitories;
• adequacy of the basic services provided to inmates;
• assessment of existing rehabilitation program;
• adequacy of guards and other critical positions; and
• problems encountered on ensuring safety of prisoners and proposed
solutions.
It is clear then that the absence of plans and targets also contributed to the
failure of BuCor to assess the adequacy and sufficiency of the activities being
undertaken to attain the overall objective of the BuCor.
It maybe emphasized that the main objective of the BuCor is to ensure safe
custody and rehabilitation of inmates to bring them back to the fold of society
upon release. This objective, at present, could not be considered satisfactorily
attained considering the inadequate facilities and services provided to inmates.
The preparation of plans and targets are important tools in attaining the specific
objectives as these:
• ensures that the BuCor’s functions are effectively performed;

• assesses the adequacy of resources in the performance of mandated
functions;
• defines and assesses risks in non-performance of mandated functions;
• formulates strategies to address risks; and
• takes appropriate actions or institute measures for improvement of its
operations.

Chapter III
Adequate and Appropriate

Qualification Standards
45
ADEQUATE AND APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATION STANDARDS
INTRODUCTION
As provided for under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, appointments in the

civil service shall be based on merit and fitness to be determined, as far as
practicable, and, except to positions which are policy-determining, primarily
confidential or highly technical, by competitive examination. In line with this
provision, the Civil Service Commission prescribed Qualification Standards to
ensure that only qualified and competent personnel are recruited and appointed.
The Qualification Standards prescribed the education, experience, eligibility

and other requirements needed to successfully perform the duties mandated for
each position. These standards were formulated to serve as an effective guide in
recruitment and promotion and hopefully avoid, any unwarranted interference
in personnel selection.
The Civil Service Commission sets only the minimum, general and basic
requirements for each position. The formulation of specific standards and
requirements for each position suitable to their needs is left at the discretion of
the agency officials. These standards would then be the basis for recruitment
and promotion of qualified employees.
To a certain extent, the performance of an agency is dependent on the

qualification and responsiveness of the personnel assigned to carry out
operations. To ensure that the best qualified personnel are commissioned, the
agency should develop a position classification system defining the functions,
responsibilities, required skills and capabilities needed for a particular position.
A well developed position classification system would facilitate matching of
candidate’s qualifications with job requirements, provides proper balance of
supervisory and staff position, and provides top management the means to
delegate responsibilities and to evaluate performance.
The team noted that the BuCor has yet to develop qualification standards suited
for its functions. This contributed in the hiring of personnel with qualifications
not relevant or suited to their positions.
It was further noted that some BuCor personnel were not effectively placed. Of
the 1,769 personnel evaluated, 161 or 9% were assigned to divisions/sections
other than their designated positions and performing duties and responsibilities
not related to their positions, job descriptions and qualifications. There were
likewise no standard requirement for personnel designated to head operating
units, divisions and sections creating an imbalance in supervisory positions and
affecting the effective discharge of duties and responsibilities.
46
OBSERVATIONS
1. The BuCor has yet to establish qualification standards that would suit
its functions. This resulted in the appointment of a number of
personnel to positions not appropriate to their educational
qualifications.
As discussed earlier, the Civil Service Commission sets only the

minimum qualification standards and basic requirements for a specific
position. These standards could be used by agencies as guide in the
formulation and development of their specific requirements. The agency
should likewise consider its functions and responsibilities in the
development of standards.
Review of records, however, revealed that while the BuCor had been in
existence for 100 years now, it has yet to develop and establish
qualification standards that would meet its needs and demands. As a
result, there was no standard qualification requirement for each position
title. This condition resulted in the hiring of personnel to a position with
educational qualification not relevant or responsive to the BuCor’s
functions as illustrated below:

It maybe noted that the CSC merely prescribed the level of education
required to qualify for each position. The identification of the degree
relevant to the job is left to the sound discretion of the agency officials.
In this case, however, since the agency did not identify the degree
relevant to the position, all applicants with bachelor’s degree are
considered qualified to the position.
This then resulted in the placement of BSC Accounting graduates even to

the Security Officer and Penal Institution Superintendent positions. While
the team does not question the capability of the incumbents, the
educational requirements for each position would contribute in ensuring
that the desired level of performance is effectively discharged.

2. Of the 1,769 BuCor personnel evaluated, 161 or 9% were assigned to

other divisions/sections and performing duties and responsibilities not
related to their positions, qualifications and job descriptions. This
condition affects the effective performance of employees as they did not
meet the required qualifications.
As reflected in the organizational structure of the BuCor, it is composed

Posting of personnel to duties/functions which are not relevant to their

positions and educational qualifications would affect their performance.
Moreover, considering the inadequacy of custodial personnel to
effectively discharge its custodial function, the posting of 111 prison
guards to other offices to perform staff functions could not be considered
as a smart move.
3. Of the eighteen (18) personnel assigned at the Budget and Finance

Division, three (3) were not able to meet the minimum training required
of their positions.
The Civil Service Commission has formulated qualification standards

wherein minimum requirements in terms of educational attainment,
experience, training and eligibility are expressed.
Validation of records maintained by the BuCor revealed that of the

eighteen (18) personnel assigned at the Budget and Finance Division,
three (3) were not able to meet the minimum training required for their
positions as illustrated on the next page.

It maybe noted that while certain trainings were attended by these

personnel, said trainings could not be considered relevant to the position
they are at present holding. The absence of relevant training could affect
the performance of their assigned duties and responsibilities.
4. The reported qualifications of one hundred eighty three personnel could

not be validated due to absence of relevant documents. These
documents were not included in their 201 files.
In order to assess the adequacy of selection process, the team evaluated

the completeness of documentary requirements of 529 personnel assigned
in different offices/divisions/units using their respective 201 files.
Verification showed that of the 529 personnel’s 201 files, 183 or 34.59 %
were not completely maintained. The 201 files did not include copy of the
diploma or Transcript of Records, certificates of vocational trainings and
CSC eligibility, among others. As a result, the team could not validate the
qualifications of these personnel who were holding varied positions from
Driver I to Management Audit Analyst V. Examples of positions without
complete documents on file are presented on next page with details
attached as Annex B.

While the team does not question the qualifications of these personnel, the
presence or availability of documentary requirements would erase any
doubts and support their appointments.
5. The absence of a specific standard for supervisory positions resulted in the

designation of personnel holding different positions with varying salary
grades to head different operating units, divisions and sections. This
condition creates imbalance in supervisory position and personnel
demoralization affecting the effective discharge of duties and
responsibilities.
The team also noted that the assignment of personnel as heads of operating
units, divisions and sections was not consistent. The position titles and
salary grades of personnel designated to head different offices varies from
Salary Grades 5 to 24 as can be gleaned in the organizational structure of
the DPPF and IPPF as shown on the next page:

While the DPPF maybe considered relatively big when compared with the
IPPF, the designation of Superintendent I with salary grade 20 at the IPPF
could not be considered appropriate. This is only equivalent to his assistant
and even lower in rank than the Chief of Hospital who is holding position
with salary grade 24 but under the supervision of the Superintendent I. The
comparative duties and responsibilities of the two position titles follow:

As can be gleaned above, the definition of a small penal farm was not
clearly established. Relatively, the IPPF could not be considered small
when compared with other prison and penal farms taking into consideration
the number of detainees/inmates as of December 31, 2003. It may also be
noted that in view of the absence of a clear and definite guidelines, the
assignment to head an office is no longer in accordance with the degree of
responsibility of the office being assigned to as shown below:
Penal Farm No. of Inmates Headed By

IPPF 2,223 Penal Institution Superintendent I
SRPPF 959 Penal Institution Superintendent I
SPPF 1,256 Penal Institution Superintendent I
LRP 1,034 Penal Institution Superintendent I
The absence of a clear-cut policy on the designation of supervisory

positions creates imbalance in supervisory position and personnel
demoralization affecting the effective discharge of duties and
responsibilities. Under the standardization law, position with the same
duties and responsibilities should be accorded the same salary grade and
pay scheme.

Chapter IV
Adequacy of Personnel
Complement
61
ADEQUACY OF PERSONNEL COMPLEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Adequacy of manpower is important in the attainment of the overall goals of the

agency. A proper balance of supervisory and staff positions can serve as an
important control on the performance of individuals and groups within an
organization. It also ensures that appropriate levels of supervision are available
to all employees and provides top management with a means to delegate
responsibilities and to evaluate performance.
Personnel complement is also required to be reviewed periodically to assess

responsiveness to the plans and policies of the agency.
The team noted that the present BuCor personnel complement which was
established in 1989 is no longer adequate considering the present number of
inmates.
OBSERVATION
The present manpower of BuCor was established in 1989 when the total
inmates was only 12,970. At present, it is maintaining 28,230 prisoners or an
increase by 15,260 or 118%. This illustrates the need to restudy the existing
manpower complement to effectively discharge its mandate.
Records showed that while the number of inmates kept on increasing annually,
the existing manpower of BuCor was not adjusted since it was established in
1989 when the total inmates was only 12,970. As of September 30, 2004, the
total inmates was 28,230 distributed in the main office and seven operating
units located in different places nationwide. The increase in the number of
inmates in custody would translate to increased workload both in the civilian
and custodial functions.
Evaluation of the data requested by the team from the different support offices
and operating units on their functions and activities and estimated workload
particularly the posting of custodial personnel and an assessment on the
adequacy of existing positions revealed that both civilian and custodial
positions may be considered inadequate to effectively deliver the required
services. The team also noted that assignment of custodial personnel was
apparently not consistent with the degree of responsibility as evident on the
tabulation presented on the next page.

Unit/Penal Position
The BuCor then needs to assess the number of classes that could be effectively handled by each
designated teacher to determine its total needs. Moreover, the assignment should consider the
position and qualifications of the employees to be assigned. It may noted that the Prison Guards
were assigned to handle classes.

This is equivalent to daily average of 20

escorting activities.
Under the existing regulations of BuCor,

two guards are needed to escort one inmate
for court appearances or outside hospital
referrals. This unit then would be needing
only forty (40) guards.
In cases when referrals and court

appearances exceeds 20 per day, then the
services of other guards assigned in non
critical posts could be utilized.
Agricultural Production Section 15 At present there are 4.6 hectares being

STANDARDIZED COMPENSATION OF CUSTODIAL
PERSONNEL
INTRODUCTION
One way of enhancing the general welfare, commitment to service and display
of professionalism by personnel in the government service or in any
organization is the provision of reasonable compensation. This is the objective
of the standardization law which established the base pay for personnel in the
government performing the same functions.
The functions of the BuCor is similar to the functions being performed by the
Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) which is under the
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). They are both in
charge of custody, rehabilitation and maintenance of national offenders. The
BuCor is responsible for those sentenced above three years while the BJMP is
responsible for those convicted three years and below and those detained
pending final verdict by the courts.
The compensation of some BuCor’s custodial personnel who are considered as

civilian employees were below that of the BJMP who are considered as
uniformed personnel.
OBSERVATION
The BuCor’s custodial positions are classified as civilian positions with salary
grades lower than the BJMP personnel who are considered as uniformed
personnel. Both Offices are performing the same functions of custodial,
rehabilitation and maintenance of national offenders with those sentenced to
serve for three years and below to be under the BJMP, while those above
three years are under the custody of BuCor. In addition, the position titles of
the BuCor custodial personnel are no longer descriptive of their functions.
Of all agencies of the government, it is with the BJMP that the functions of the
BuCor could be compared with. Both offices are responsible in the custody,
rehabilitation and maintenance of national offenders although classified
differently. The BuCor’s custodial personnel are considered civilian employees
while the BJMP personnel are considered uniformed personnel.
The team, however, noted that while their classifications were not the same,
their functions and responsibilities could be considered similar. Due to different
classifications, their compensation package differ as tabulated on the next page.

Except for Security Officer II and III positions where the basic pay of BuCor
positions are higher than those of the BJMP, all other BuCor positions are lower
in salary grade and in base pay.
The disparity in compensation of government personnel performing similar

functions would affect the degree of commitment and dedication to service of
personnel posing great risks and threat on the attainment of the BuCor’s
mandated functions.
Further evaluation also disclosed that the position titles of the BuCor custodial
personnel are no longer descriptive of the functions under the new name of the
agency. For these positions to be descriptive of their functions, the BuCor may
consider the following position titles:
From To
Security Officer III Senior Corrections Officer III
Security Officer II Senior Corrections Officer II
Security Officer I Senior Corrections Officer I
Prison Guard III Corrections Officer III
Prison Guard II Corrections Officer II
Prison Guard I Corrections Officer I
It may be noted that the Prison Guard positions were conceived when the
Bureau was still named Bureau of Prisons.

Part IV
Recommendations

RECOMMENDATIONS
The BuCor management should:
1. Clearly define the functions and expected outputs of each section/unit

and ensure that the defined functions and outputs would result in the
attainment of BuCor’s overall objective;
2. Develop adequate policies and guidelines on the preparation of plans

and targets and in reporting accomplishments to ensure effective
delivery of services. These policies and guidelines must include the
basis/criteria for setting targets taking into consideration the existing
resources; information/data to be reported such as strategies,
activities and expected outputs; time frame of project implementation;
the office/unit responsible for each activity; and deadline for
reporting accomplishments. The performance reports should present
the comparative analysis of the outputs with set targets, identification
of variances and the reasons for failing to meet the targets.
3. Develop qualification standards that would suit the needs of the

BuCor. This should complement the minimum qualification
standards set by the CSC;
4. Ensure that the minimum qualification requirements on education,

training and eligibility are complied with and can be validated from
documents maintained by the BuCor;
5. Assign personnel to duties/functions which are relevant to their

positions, qualifications and job descriptions;
6. Establish standards indicating the qualifications and salary grades of

personnel for designation to supervisory position to ensure that the
