Lacson on the GCTA Investigation: It’s a bottomless pit

The series of inquiry on the notorious implementation of the Good Conduct Time Allowance by the Bureau of Customs has convinced Sen. Panfilo Lacson that the investigation has turned into a bottomless pit that exposed more and more controversies. Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairperson Richard Gordon recommended that the root of the problem should be dealt with and that personalities involved be held accountable. Former BuCor Chief Nicanor Faeldon suggested a stronger intelligence activity to stop the illicit transactions within the prison walls.
