Manila RTC Br 47 reduces 3-day furlough granted to Reina Mae Nasino to 2 days (Oct 14 and 16) at 3 hrs each (1-4pm) after Manila City Jail officials asked to reduce furlough citing lack of personnel.
Aside from lack of personnel, Manila City Jail officials now also citing safety of inmates saying they do not have enough facilities to accommodate Nasino when she returns from furlough, accdg to NUPL lawyers.
WATCH: Reina Mae Nasino’s lawyer Kathy Panguban, almost in tears as she explains how Manila City Jail and BJMP officials argued to reduce her furlough to 2 days. Among reasons cited, Nasino is supposedly a high profile inmate.
KAPATID cries injustice over reduction of Reina Mae Nasino’s furlough. Says she should be subject to same privileges granted to big names in politics: Equity and compassion, simple humanity, should be standard to all. 
Reacting to Nasino’s reduced furlough, NUPL Pres Edre Olalia says security and health reasons only apply to “least, last and lost in society than to the privileged and powerful.” Warns they will be watching if BJMP officials roll out red carpet to other detainees.

Atty Panguban says Nasino now given only 6 hrs to say goodbye to her baby when “she shouldn’t have been in jail in the first place.”
KAPATID spox Fides Lim says it now appears there are 2 justice systems in the country and that a jail warden could refuse to follow a court order and have it modified.
One of Reina Mae Nasino’s lawyers, Ma Sol Taule, shares BJMP and Manila City Jail officials had in fact wanted to reduce Nasino’s furlough to only 3 hours.
