Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez on Sunday suspended the release from the National Bilibid Prison (NBP) of convicted rapist former Zamboanga Congressman Romeo Jalosjos.
In a phone interview with Manila Shimbun last night, Gonzalez said they will still review the recommendation of former Bureau of Corrections Director Vicente Vinarao to release Jalosjos after having allegedly served already his commuted sentence.
“I suspended the release. We will review his case if he is already qualified for release or not,” Gonzalez said.
Jalosjos release prior to Christmas day was earlier reported after Malacañang announced the commutation of his sentence middle of this year.
