Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros infuriated after President Rodrigo Duterte expressed confidence in former Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Nicanor Faeldon despite firing him in the middle of the scandal about good conduct time allowances (GCTA).

In her twitter post, she said Faeldon is far from being upright considering the most recent controversy he was involved in at the BuCor.

She advised President Rodrigo Duterte to get hold of a dictionary, & look up the definition of ‘upright.’ After the President described former Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Nicanor Faeldon as “upright.”

“Kung ‘upright’ sila, ‘di niyo sila sinibak sa pwesto. ‘Upright’ ba ang nagpakawala ng mga Chinese druglords at muntik na ng isang unrepentant rapist-murderer? Please get hold of a dictionary, & look up the definition of ‘upright,'” the senator said.

Duterte said Friday (September 6) despite firing Faeldon following the controversy on the release of heinous crimes convicts due to the good conduct time allowance (GCTA) law, Duterte still had good words about the former BuCor Chief.

“Si Faeldon, tarong na nga tawo (Faeldon is an upright man). I still believe in him,” Duterte during the launching of the housing project for landslide victims in Naga City, Cebu.

He credited Faeldon for forcing Mighty Corp. to pay billions of pesos in taxes by informing him about the company’s production of fake cigarette tax stamps.

Hontiveros added in her Facebook post, ‘Upright’ ba ang nagpakawala ng mga Chinese druglords at muntik na ng isang unrepentant rapist-murderer?” referring to the release of four Chinese drug lords and the attempted early release of former Calauan, Laguna mayor Antonio Sanchez.
