Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr. said Thursday he was puzzled by the complaint filed by wives of persons deprived of liberty and political prisoners regarding the strip search es they experienced at the New Bilibid Prison , saying the complainants had visited numerous times before.According to Catapang, complainant Gloria Almonte had previously signed 14 waivers, which he said showed that she was willing to be inspected.
Almonte said she was "nearly in tears and trembling" and was asked to bend over while being subjected to inspection, while Maricel said she had to repeat the procedure at least 10 times as she supposedly wasn't doing it right.The complaint prompted Catapang and Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla to order separate investigations. The CHR has started its own investigation into the complaint.
