MANILA—The Department of Justice is "seriously" considering the suspension of processing applications for good conduct time allowance grants on convicts, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Saturday.
He said the halt would be temporary, and that convicts applying for the grant would just have to "wait a little." After the news attracted public outrage, Guevarra ordered a thorough review and re-computation of GCTAs of convicts. When he was done, his men then took turns raping her. She was then shot in the face. Gomez was, meanwhile, tortured and killed.
