The chief of the Legal Service of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) who is serving a six month suspension over his alleged involvement in the anomalous implementation of the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) of convicted inmates was gunned down in Muntinlupa City Wednesday afternoon.

Fredric Anthony Santos at the press conference at NBP on Aug. 29, 2019 regarding the GCTA controversy.

The anomaly was only exposed when Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez was about to be freed under the GCTA. Sanchez was convicted of rape with murder of UP Los Banos student Eileen Sarmenta and murder of fellow UP student Allan Gomez. In August last year, another BuCor official, uperto Traya was also gunned down in Muntinlipa City. But police denied that Traya’s death was connected to the GCTA mess.Meanwhile, Senate President Vicente Sotto III called on the Department of Justice to investigate the killing.

“He earlier informed me thru Senator Lacson that he was ready to tell all before the last hearing on the GCTA,” the Senate chief said in a text message.“The DOJ should get to the bottom of this dastardly act,” Sotto appealed.
