Senator Richard Gordon, chair of the Senate committee on justice and human rights, on Thursday, confronted the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) officials on why it provided preferential treatment to convicted “drug queen” Yu Yuk Lai.

Gordon, at the sixth hearing of the Senate’s investigation into the anomalies in the BuCor and the New Bilibid Prison , asked why Yu was sent to private hospitals several times where she stayed for as long as 10 months.

Marasigan said doctors initially diagnosed Yu with a transient ischemic attack. She said Yu also underwent therapy for anxiety and depressive syndrome. The last time Yu was hospitalized; Marasigan said the convict was sent to the Philippine Heart Center from March 15 to May 2, 2017, after complaining of chest pain and hypertension. She was then diagnosed with coronary artery disease.

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson earlier said they got hold of information that Yu was overstaying at the Makati Medical Center and has been seen shopping at Greenbelt mall in Makati. “Kung merong kaming pasyenteng lalabas, kailangang may relative na magbabantay, requirement ‘yun. Kapag walang relative hindi nailalabas kasi ‘yung gwardiya, e gwardiya lang, ” he said.

At this, Gordon ventured that the BuCor personnel are merely using the arduous procedure as an excuse to prevent the transfer of sick convicts to hospitals.
