Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri on Monday said he plans to file a bill that would exclude individuals who are sentenced for committing heinous crimes from those eligible for the computation of the good conduct time allowance under Republic Act No. 10592.
“[These] individuals are too dangerous to release back in the streets and imagine the families and individuals who testified against them will be in extreme danger,” he warned. This was the law cited by the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Corrections for the possible release of Sanchez, former Calauan, Laguna mayor who was convicted for the 1993 rape-slay of University of the Philippines-Los Baños students Eileen Sarmenta and Allan Gomez.
He added that revising the RA 10592 would prevent convicted criminals from becoming recidivist and preying on other victims.
