The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Regional Office III (BJMPRO-III) have signed a landmark agreement to help Persons Restored of Liberty (PRLs) reintegrate into the workforce, creating pathways to employment and social inclusion beyond incarceration.
SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño and BJMP Region 3 Director Jail Chief Superintendent Ma. Annie A. Espinosa formalized the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on June 4 at the SBMA Administration Building, with senior officials from both agencies in attendance.
Aliño said the Workplace Reintegration Program enhances public safety while extending rehabilitative efforts to PRLs.
“I strongly believe that it is not only our civic responsibility but more importantly, a just and humane act of service to our fellowmen,” he noted.
The program will facilitate skills-matching and employment opportunities within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, enabling PRLs to become productive members of society.
Espinosa emphasized that the initiative reflects both institutions’ shared commitment to reformation beyond incarceration, empowering individuals with dignity, purpose, and responsibility.
Last year, SBMA also partnered with the Department of Justice-Parole and Probation Administration (DOJ-PPA) on a similar reintegration program, making SBMA the first government-owned and controlled corporation to support workplace reintegration for parolees, probationers, and pardonees.
Officials said the new partnership with BJMPRO-III reaffirms SBMA’s dedication to inclusive employment and community-building, while strengthening BJMP’s rehabilitation thrust across Central Luzon. (SNL)
