Comprehensive Legal Documentation Support for PDL

This program aims to assist Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) in securing their essential legal documents such as PSA-issued Birth Certificates, PhilSys ID, PhilHealth, SSS, and Pag-IBIG membership, as well as Quezon City Citizen ID, Senior Citizen ID, and PWD ID. Through close coordination with the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO), PhilHealth, SSS, Pag-IBIG, and the Local Government of Quezon City, the program ensures that every PDL obtains proper identification and documentation

These documents will serve as vital requirements for their Alternative Learning System (ALS) enrollment, access to government benefits, and future employment opportunities upon release. By helping PDL establish their legal identity, the program promotes inclusivity, rehabilitation, and smooth reintegration into society

Jail Facility Maintenance and Infrastructure Improvement

A safe and humane environment is essential for rehabilitation. This program includes the regular maintenance of generators, elevators, plumbing, lighting systems, sanitation facilities such as the sewage system, cisterns, and water refilling station, as well as fire safety equipment. It ensures a functional and secure facility that upholds dignity and discipline.

Facility maintenance not only prevents hazards but also instills in Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) a sense of respect for order and cleanliness. A well-maintained environment reflects the discipline and responsibility expected of reformed citizens and supports the psychological well-being of both PDL and personnel.

Maintenance in Water Supply/ Cistern

A reliable and sufficient water supply is crucial in jail for maintaining hygiene, preventing disease and ensuring basic living condition of our PDL

1

Maintenance for Sewage Treatment Plant

The STP uses filters to remove contaminant from wastewater, making it safe for discharge. However various filtration methods, including physical, chemical, and biological process are needed to achieve this. This filtration methods is important to remove wide range of pollutant, to ensure that the treated wastewater meets quality standard for safe discharge into the environment and also protect public health by removing harmful pathogens helping in preventing waterborne disease.

2

Maintenance and Support for 2 Generator

Maintaining a generator is important to ensure its readiness whenever needed. However, such task requires budget . For the 2 generator, it requires a Preventive Maintenance Service that helps prevent major issues and extend the life of the generator. Regular PMS ensures optimal performance, safety, and efficiency saving money on costly repairs down the road.

Presented is the requested quotation for the maintenance service.

Maintenance and Repair of Elevator

Elevators are primarily used for the vertical transportation of people and goods within buildings and other structures. They offer convenience, accessibility, and efficiency, particularly for those with mobility issues, it is essential for emergency cases, like transporting of patients, medical personnel and equipment, for safety and comfort.

To guarantee safe and effective operation, elevator maintenance and repair entails routine servicing and problem-solving. This covers cleaning, lubrication, inspections, and any repairs required to maintain the elevator's proper operation and adherence to safety standards.

Maintenance and Repair of Water Refilling Station

The water refilling station is crucial for providing a safe, convenient, and more sustainable source of drinking water in jail. They promote environmental responsibility by providing a cost-effective alternative to bottled water and contribute to reducing plastic waste, promoting environmental responsibility.

Currently, the Water Refilling Station located in the facility is still non-working and requires parts and repair. Such mechanical defect causes disruption in the access to readily available source of portable water and could lead to increased reliance on potentially less safe or more expensive alternatives, like bottled water, or could also pose a greater risk of waterborne illnesses if individuals resort to consuming untreated water from other sources.

Additional Lighting’s and repair of Electrical system.

The maintenance and improvement of the electrical and lighting systems in the Quezon City Jail Male Dormitory aim to ensure a safe, secure, and functional facility for both PDL and personnel. Adequate lighting during daytime operations enables PDL to perform their daily routines, participate in rehabilitation programs, and maintain cleanliness and order within the premises.

However, certain areas become dim or poorly illuminated during nighttime, posing potential security and safety risks. The installation of additional lighting fixtures will significantly strengthen the facility’s security measures by improving visibility, preventing possible escape attempts, and enabling more efficient monitoring of all areas.

A well-lit and properly maintained environment promotes discipline, orderliness, and responsibility among PDLs—essential values that contribute to their rehabilitation and eventual reintegration into the community as law-abiding and productive citizens.

Establishment of Mental Health Hub

The establishment of a Mental Health Hub with 10 roving psychologists from the LGU is essential to address the growing mental health needs of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) at the Quezon City Jail. With an estimated 250 new PDL committed weekly, many enter the facility carrying emotional distress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or substance-related issues.

Without proper assessment and early intervention, these conditions may worsen, leading to behavioral problems, self-harm, or difficulty adjusting to the jail environment. A dedicated Mental Health Hub ensures that every newly committed PDL receives a timely psychological evaluation, proper referral, and counseling support.

Furthermore, it promotes a safe, humane, and rehabilitative environment, aligning with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology’s (BJMP) mission to reform and reintegrate PDL into society as mentally healthy and responsible citizens. Through continuous monitoring and intervention by the roving psychologists, the program can significantly reduce incidents of violence, improve discipline, and support the overall well-being of the PDL population.

The “No Juan Left Behind” program upholds the true essence of rehabilitation—ensuring that every Person Deprived of Liberty, regardless of background or circumstance, is given equal access to education, mental health care, skills training, and reintegration support. By establishing programs like the Mental Health Hub and other developmental initiatives, we are not only strengthening security and discipline but also restoring dignity, hope, and purpose among PDL.

Approving this program means believing in second chances—that every Juan has the potential to change, to heal, and to contribute positively to the community once released. It is a step toward a more compassionate, inclusive, and progressive correctional system where truly, no Juan is left behind.
