MANILA – Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Wednesday night clarified that 2 Supreme Court cases, not a law, were the legal bases he cited in his advice to the President that prisoners erroneously-

released on good conduct time allowance may still be ordered rearrested.“Basis for rearrest is not a law but jurisprudence, which forms part of the law of the land,” he said in a message, hours after President Duterte said in his press conference in Malacanang that Guevarra supposedly cited a law that is the basis for rearresting prisoners erroneously-released who refuse to voluntarily surrender.

The Supreme Court, in a decision penned by Associate Justice JBL Reyes, ruled the warden usurped the authority of the Director of Prisons in crediting prisoner with GCTA. It also found there was an error in the computation as there remained an unserved portion of 11 months and 5 days.

The warden, however, issued good behavior certifications, which became the trial court’s basis for ordering the release of 8 other prisoners.
