Senator Leila de Lima commended all jail and prison volunteers for investing their time and energy not only to guarantee that Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) receive humane treatment while in prison but also to ensure that the latter become closer to God.
In her message for the celebration of the 34th Prison Awareness Week, the detained senator said the love and compassion shown to PDLs help them heal and regain hope amid their ordeal.
“Isa ang malinaw: Maayos man o hindi ang pasilidad ng isang kulungan, hindi haba ng sentensya o taon ng pagkakulong ang muling bubuo sa isang bilanggo, kundi ang pakiramdam na may halaga ang kanyang buhay, may pag-asa pa, at may lunas sa kanyang pagkalugmok upang muling ibangon ang sarili,” she said.
“Pagmamahal, pag-asa at kumakalingang kapwa sa isang komunidad na sentro ang Diyos ang magpapabilis sa paghilom at pagbangon,” De Lima said.
“Kasama nina father at bishop, sobrang laki ng tulong at ambag ng ating mga jail and prison volunteers, kayo po, upang ang komunidad sa loob ng bilangguan ay maging makatao, maging mapagkalinga at walang diskriminasyon,” she added.
De Lima’s message was read by her chief-of-staff Fhillip Sawali, during the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Prison Pastoral Care’s celebration of the Prison Awareness Week.
