On the appointment of Mr. Gerald Quitaleg Bantag


Malacañang confirms the appointment of Mr. Gerald Quitaleg Bantag as Director-General of the Bureau of Corrections (BUCOR) of the Department of Justice.

Prior to Mr. Bantag’s recent appointment as Director General of the BUCOR, he was only on secondment from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) to the BUCOR. He was previously designated as Director General, but he kept his item/position with the BJMP. Now Mr. Bantag has been appointed directly as the Director-General of BUCOR, with a tour of duty not exceeding 6 years.

We hope this clarifies the matter.
