CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro (PIA) – Children of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) at the Naujan District Jail in Oriental Mindoro received assistance through a Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) outreach program.
As part of the BJMP MIMAROPA’s “Kalinga sa Anak ng PDL Program,” the daylong activity inside the facility provided dental awareness and hygiene kits, gift packages, food packs, and activities such as reading and painting sessions to six children of PDLs.
BJMP MIMAROPA Information Officer Jail Officer 3 Joefrie Anglo said the outreach focused on hope, resilience and maintaining family connections for PDLs.

“Their smiles and joy were strong indicators that they were genuinely happy and that all the extended support was worth it,” he said.
