The first batch of participants released through our Community Bail Fund are two mothers. A third participant is still in jail, despite posting the bail amount, due to a "namesake" in the warrant section.
The release made possible the celebration of mother's day outside of the jail cell. It reunited them with their very young children.
Since their release a week ago, the government has now saved PhP980.00 computed as 2 participants times 7 days times 70 pesos for food per day.
Thank you to all our friends who are supporting this program. May your tribe increase... Cheers!!!
Special thanks to PAO lawyer Ayen Aldueso and Jobert Navallo for facilitating the release... Also to our volunteer Solita Baltazar!
