**ALBAY PROVINCIAL JAIL WELCOMES BIBLE-BASED SPIRITUAL MINISTRY**
| August 19, 2026 — The Albay Provincial Jail welcomed a Bible-based spiritual ministry conducted by the Bible Believers Baptist Church (BBBCP), led by Pastor Aquila Inigo Felipe G. Reyes, together with fellow missionaries from Korea.
The activity was conducted to provide spiritual guidance, encouragement, and Bible-based teachings to Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) and jail personnel. The initiative forms part of the continuing efforts to support the holistic development and rehabilitation of PDLs by providing opportunities for spiritual reflection, positive values formation, and personal transformation.
The visiting missionaries shared messages from the Bible aimed at strengthening faith, encouraging hope, and promoting positive outlook among the participants. The activity also provided an opportunity for the PDLs to reflect on their lives and strengthen their relationship with God.
Provincial Jail Warden JCSUPT Felly Atienza-Cebuma (Ret.) expressed her sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Bible Believers Baptist Church and its missionaries for extending their time, effort, and service to the PDLs and jail personnel. She recognized the value of faith-based activities in supporting the Albay Provincial Jail's commitment to the humane safekeeping and development of PDLs, as well as their preparation for eventual reintegration into the community.
The Albay Provincial Jail remains committed to fostering partnerships with religious organizations, stakeholders, and other institutions that contribute to the holistic rehabilitation, spiritual development, and welfare of Persons Deprived of Liberty.
The jail management likewise extends its appreciation to all individuals and organizations who continuously share their time and resources in bringing hope, compassion, and positive change to those under our care.
