Always supporting Bureau of Corrections by visiting CIW constantly.

Was invited to judge the Nacocow Month Dance competition. Super galing ng mga PDLs. It’s like a huge show with amazing costumes and unique choreography.

If you’d like to visit and donate… let me know! ❤️

Another day sharing blessings to PDLs of the Mandaluyong City Jail! Gave the ladies slippers for their everyday use. 🥰

mWell , Makati Medical Center and Jci Makati along with Counselor Charisse Marie Abalos-Vargas joined forces to bring in Mental Health doctors via online consultations, livelihood programs, paralegal support and loot bags for the imprisoned women.

I’m so excited to bring in many of these programs to different jails as mental health support is something we don’t have for prisons in the Philippines. Free and definitely accessible for PDLs so they’ll be able to elevate their lives in all aspects.

May we touch more lives behind bars one visit at a time. 🥹❤️

This 2026 I plan to do many projects for the PDLs.

Today we had a good meeting with Mandaluyong Councilor Charisse Marie Abalos-Vargas and Stella of mWell and Jci Makati. 💙

Medical and mental health services will be provided for the prisoners that will be benefiting this exciting project!

Sadly medicines are not provided by BJMP as budgets are restrained so let’s help those sickly PDLs by contributing to their medical needs!

Exciting. 🤩🥹

Once upon a time.. this happen to Karen Bordador.

Now it’s part of history.

Si Karen Bordador y Cortez ay napawalang-sala (na-acquit) sa kasong paglabag sa Section 5, Article II ng Republic Act No. 9165 o Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act, matapos mabigo ang prosekusyon na patunayan ang kanyang pagkakasala. Dahil dito, iniutos ng korte ang kanyang agarang paglaya mula sa Pasig City Jail.

Si Karen ay nasangkot sa isang drug raid matapos siyang madatnang dumadalaw lamang sa kanyang dating kasintahan sa isang apartment. Ayon sa salaysay, wala pang isang minuto mula nang siya ay dumating nang may biglang kumatok at sapilitang pumasok ang mga lalaking nakasibilyan, walang dalang search warrant o warrant of arrest.

Makaraan ang ilang oras, bigla na lamang lumitaw sa sala ang sandamakmak na ilegal na droga na sinasabing pag-aari ng kanyang dating kasintahan. Dumating pa ang media at ipinahayag na sila umano ang nagsu-supply ng droga sa mga party at bar, isang paratang na mariing itinanggi ni Karen.

Kahit kulang at 'di sapat ang ebidensya, halos limang taon siyang nakulong sa city jail sa kasong hindi niya ginawa. Lalong tumagal ang proseso nang pumanaw ang hukom na unang humawak sa kaso. Nang italaga ang bagong hukom, masusing inaral ang mga rekord at ebidensya. Sa kabila ng kasong walang piyansa, pinairal ng korte ang hustisya at dahil na rin awa ng Diyos, tuluyang napawalang-sala si Karen.

Dumaan si Karen sa mabigat na pagsubok sa loob ng kulungan. Naranasan niyang kumain ng kaning-lamig, matulog nang dikit-dikit, maligo sa loob lamang ng limang minuto, at makisama sa kulungang may ipis at daga. Naging inspirasyon siya sa mga kapwa bilanggo, tumulong sa pagpapaganda ng kulungan at nagbigay ng pag-asa sa mga kababaihang pinanghihinaan ng loob.

Sa ngayon, mapayapa nang namumuhay si Karen kasama ang kanyang pamilya na buong tapang na ipinaglaban ang isang kasong hindi niya kailanman nararapat pagdaanan. Ang kanyang kuwento ay patunay na kahit sa gitna ng matinding pagsubok, ang katotohanan at hustisya ay mananaig pa rin sa huli.

Makati City Jail 🥲

Happy NACOCOW : National Correctional Consciousness Week! October is for the prisoners. This is the time they do their biggest sports and cultural events, livelihood product exhibitions, legal/education outreach within jails for the purpose to raise awareness of the rights, welfare, rehabilitation and eventual reintegration into society of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs). Being a former PDLs, I will always support these initiatives. I judged Mr. & Ms. NACOCOW at the Makati City Jail! Grabe ang talented nila! They all had their gowns and costumes made for the competition. I was so touched too that many of those inside said they watch my videos and find inspiration in them. It’s comforting to know that my experience is their healing. Thank you for having me! I came out of jail extra inspired. God is good, He has a plan for all of us.. even those behind bars. 🥲 All will reveal in time. 🙏

Calling out FEMALE DORM jails!

Interestingly, many foreigners get imprisoned and sentenced here in the Philippines while their embassies simply monitor their status in our jails. No money, no dalaws… Their cases are usually heavy though and they do not get special treatment for being foreign.

This guy committed theft several times and will be deported instead.

His offense is minor, so they’re treating him as a nuisance foreigner. He should be very grateful because Filipinos often languish in jail for stealing small items from stores or even for being accused of stealing small amounts of money from cashiers. Common Pinoys spend 4 years and above just to even hear their cases for minor theft sooo he really dodged a bullet. He’s extremely lucky!

I hope this deportation serves as a lesson for him.

Do you AGREE with how the government treated this foreigner? Or do you think he should go through the normal justice system of the Philippines?

Visiting the women of Makati City Jail 🥲

Did you know Senator Gr**go Honasan was a political primer?

He was imprisoned in a Philippine Navy ship and eventually escaped. He was a fugitive for many years until he was granted amnesty.

Watch KULONGBIA STORIES on my YT Channel and learn of his great escape. 🔥

ATTENTION! 🔥 Very honored to interview a legend.

The Shocking Escape of Senator Gr**go Honasan from Prison: My Exclusive Interview on the BRP Andres Bonifacio Naval Ship!

Tune in to my YouTube channel, KulongBia Stories, today at 6 PM for an intimate look at Senator Gregorio Honasan's dramatic escape. Hear firsthand about his daring flight from prison aboard the BRP Andres Bonifacio, the Philippine Navy ship—a true testament to a man who would sacrifice everything for his country!

Visited the strong and hopeful women of Makati City Jail today.

Many of them knew my story and have been following my journey. Sadly, some are just starting their first year behind bars, while others have been inside for much longer. I’ve seen so much of the outside world, while they wake up every day to the same walls and bars.

Stepping into a jail facility always brings back memories of my own five-year struggle—I still can’t believe I survived it. But visits like this remind me of my purpose: to give hope. Because if I made it through, so can they.
