This move aligns with the administration's 'bloodless drug campaign' and is part of efforts to gradually close down the NBP by 2028.The no-cellphone policy applies to all commissioned and non-commissioned officers, civilian personnel, visitors, and anyone entering BuCor facilities.Catapang said the ban is aimed at curbing illegal activities facilitated by unregulated cellphone use inside correctional facilities.
