Thirty-seven persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) at the minimum and maximum compounds of the Leyte Regional Prison (LRP) have finished their senior high school (SHS) education, the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) said on Tuesday, April 22.

In a statement, the BuCor said that the 37 PDLs graduated last April 15 after undergoing the 2nd Alternative Learning System (ALS) for SHS) at the Cagbolo Senior High School.
It said the graduation ceremony stood as “a meaningful testament to the reformation and rehabilitation efforts of Leyte Regional Prison, offering educational opportunities and hope for a brighter future for PDLs.”
“Their completion of academic requirements was certified by Lea A. Robin EdD (Doctor of Education), Public Schools District Supervisor of Abuyog South District, and confirmed by Mariza S. Magan EdD, CESO (Career Executive Service Officer) V Schools Division Superintendent of the Division of Leyte underscoring the program's adherence to national educational standards,” it said.
