Amid the massive poverty in the country, Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Chief Director Allan Iral, could still perform the rich-countries' ritual of blessing newly-acquired vehicles with champagne at the New QC Jail in Payatas, QC today.
A total of 2,541 9mm pistols, 688 laptops, and 14 BJMP Transport Vehicles (BTVs) were given to the BJMP that will be used for their daily operations.
