New Bilibid Prison Superintendent Angelina "Angie" Bautista on Tuesday denied involvement with the alleged construction business inside the correctional facility.
“‘Yun pong construction materials sir, nire-request po nila 'yan sa camp commander. Tapos po ire-recommend po ni camp commander sa akin for approval,” Bautista said. When Dela Rosa pressed her on the alleged involvement, Bautista said she only approved the request and was not involved in supplying the construction materials.This came after Senator Francis Tolentino cited a supposed letter from former Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra stating that she cannot be a consultant or a contractual as she is a non-career official and cannot be designated to a position exercising jurisdiction over regular and career employees.
