BuCor Denies Claims High-Profile Inmate Jaybee Sebastian Escaped
JAYBEE SEBASTIAN – The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) denied allegations that drug convict Jaypee Sebastian escaped and still alive.
Following a previous article, the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Chief Director General Gerald Bantag confirmed that drug convict Jaybee Sebastian died due to COVID-19. He said the body of the high-profile inmate was immediately cremated.
The 40-year-old inmate was charged alongside Senator Leila De Lima in drug cases. Sebastian pleaded guilty before he died. The virus from China has killed 9 high-profile inmates of the New Bilibid Prison.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN News, BuCor spokesperson Col. Gabriel Chaclag said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) was ordered to probe the deaths of the high-profile Bilibid inmates. On Thursday, July 23, he denied the allegations that Jaypee Sebastian escaped and still alive.

Gabriel Chaclag said it was impossible for the BuCor to help the drug convict escape. He assures the public that it’s not true. He said the bureau’s service is true and they follow regulations.
“We want to assure the public na hindi po totoo iyon at sana nga ay we disabuse ourselves from these insinuations at wag na natin siipin yung ganun dahil totoo po ang pagseserbisyo ng BuCor at kami po ay sumusunod lahat sa pataakaran at hindi po tayo nasisilaw sa anumang monetary consideration kung ‘yun ang insinuation nila…”
“’Yun nga yung haka-haka na nakakaubos lang ng ating energy at resources dahil hindi naman po totoo iyan, marami pong nakakakita at napaka-imposible pong mangyari dahil kung conspiracy talaga, grand conspiracy dahil it will involve hundreds of personnel so di naman po pwede yun,” he added.
According to the report, the spokesperson said BuCor’s procedures regarding the inmates who tested positive for COVID-19 were documented. He also denied that claims that Bantag was behind Jaypee Sebastian’s death.
“Hindi naman po kami siguro napakasamang tao na magplano ng mga ganun…”
“Rest assured that everything BuCor is doing on its response to COVID-19 ay nasa regulasyon po at aboveboard,” he said.
