Matapos ang pagpapalaya ni Faeldon sa mga preso ay agad syang tinanggal sa Pwesto ni Pangulong Duterte dahil sa paglabag di umano nito sa kanyang utos. Samantala ay binigyan naman ni Duterte ng 15 days para magsurrender ang mga napalaya. Sa kasalukuyan ay hindi lalampas sa sampu ang nagsurrender. Ang mga pangalan ng mga napalaya ay nasa watch list na ng Immigration. 1 milyon naman ang bounty ng bawat isang nakatakas.
Samantala narito naman ang nakasaaad sa batas:
Republic Act 10592
Section 5. Article 99 of the same Act is hereby further amended to read as follows:"
"ART. 99. Who grants time allowances. – Whenever lawfully justified, the Director of the Bureau of Corrections, the Chief of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and/or the Warden of a provincial, district, municipal or city jail shall grant allowances for good conduct. Such allowances once granted shall not be revoked."
Section 4. Article 98 of the same Act is hereby further amended to read as follows:
"ART. 98. Special time allowance for loyalty. – A deduction of one fifth of the period of his sentence shall be granted to any prisoner who, having evaded his preventive imprisonment or the service of his sentence under the circumstances mentioned in Article 158 of this Code, gives himself up to the authorities within 48 hours following the issuance of a proclamation announcing the passing away of the calamity or catastrophe referred to in said article. A deduction of two-fifths of the period of his sentence shall be granted in case said prisoner chose to stay in the place of his confinement notwithstanding the existence of a calamity or catastrophe enumerated in Article 158 of this Code.
"This Article shall apply to any prisoner whether undergoing preventive imprisonment or serving sentence."
"ART. 29. Period of preventive imprisonment deducted from term of imprisonment. – Offenders or accused who have undergone preventive imprisonment shall be credited in the service of their sentence consisting of deprivation of liberty, with the full time during which they have undergone preventive imprisonment if the detention prisoner agrees voluntarily in writing after being informed of the effects thereof and with the assistance of counsel to abide by the same disciplinary rules imposed upon convicted prisoners, except in the following cases:
"1. When they are recidivists, or have been convicted previously twice or more times of any crime; and
"2. When upon being summoned for the execution of their sentence they have failed to surrender voluntarily.
"If the detention prisoner does not agree to abide by the same disciplinary rules imposed upon convicted prisoners, he shall do so in writing with the assistance of a counsel and shall be credited in the service of his sentence with four-fifths of the time during which he has undergone preventive imprisonment.
"Credit for preventive imprisonment for the penalty of reclusion perpetua shall be deducted from thirty (30) years.
"Whenever an accused has undergone preventive imprisonment for a period equal to the possible maximum imprisonment of the offense charged to which he may be sentenced and his case is not yet terminated, he shall be released immediately without prejudice to the continuation of the trial thereof or the proceeding on appeal, if the same is under review. Computation of preventive imprisonment for purposes of immediate release under this paragraph shall be the actual period of detention with good conduct time allowance: Provided, however, That if the accused is absent without justifiable cause at any stage of the trial, the court may motu proprio order the rearrest of the accused: Provided, finally, That recidivists, habitual delinquents, escapees and persons charged with heinous crimes are excluded from the coverage of this Act. In case the maximum penalty to which the accused may be sentenced is lestierro, he shall be released after thirty (30) days of preventive imprisonment."
Republic Act 7659, the law signed in 1993 and which imposed the death penalty, says that heinous crimes include:
- Treason
- Piracy in general and mutiny on the high seas in Philippine waters
- Qualified piracy
- Qualified bribery
- Parricide
- Murder
- Infanticide
- Kidnapping and serious illegal detention
- Robbery with violence against or intimidation of persons
- Destructive arson
- Rape
- Importation, distribution, manufacturing and possession of illegal drugs
Matibay na nakasaad sa batas na may kapangyarihan si Faeldon na magrant ng time allowance ayon sa Secton 5 article 99 ng RA 10952. Ang tanong, bakit ganito ang batas? Nasaan ang checks and balance dito? Sino ang nagsuri at nag-approve ng reports ni Faeldon? Bakit walang independent ang nagsusuri nito? Ang batas na ito ay delikado. Maari nitong palayain ang sinumang may sala basta malakas sa Bucor Chief.
Ayon sa article 29, ang mga may kasong heinous crime ay exluded pero bakit nakalusot ito kay Faeldon? "I am a soldier, I do what I am told". Ang tanong, Sino o ano ang ang-utos kay Faeldon? Kung may mali si Faeldon, posible din na may mali din ang mga naunang nairelease sa panahon ni Noynoy Aquino.
