Mayor Yuri Pacumio and Vice Mayor SM Matro also showed their support by sponsoring the food and providing tents, tables, and chairs.

Through continuous work, PCES and other stakeholders aspire to create a world free from judgement and discrimination not just for PDLs, but also for people with different circumstances.
In a landmark move that underscores the growing momentum for second chances and inclusive development, Philippines Central Engagement Services Inc. (PCES Inc.) has officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with BJMP CALABARZON to launch a transformative employment initiative for soon-to-be-released Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs). The ceremony, held in Calamba, Laguna, was a powerful affirmation of the shared belief that real rehabilitation must extend beyond prison walls. Mr. Leonel Herrera, Chief Operations Officer of PCES Inc., opened the program with a compelling message:
“The rehabilitation of PDLs loses its meaning unless we extend them equal opportunities to reintegrate into society.”
The event was graced by key leaders of BJMP CALABARZON: JCSUPT. Hilbert M. Flor, JSUPT. Alvin Gavan, and JCINSP. Luisa L. Dionela-Tenorio, all of whom expressed their full support and optimism for this pioneering partnership. Representing PCES Inc. alongside Mr. Herrera were John Ronald Robillos, Director of Digital Platforms and IT, and Jeal Pascua, Chief Finance Officer.
This agreement is not just symbolic—it is a call to action. Through this collaboration, PCES Inc. will provide a dedicated digital platform that helps match qualified, soon-to-be-released PDLs with employers who are open to giving them a fresh start. The platform is uniquely tailored to the needs and realities of PDLs, ensuring they are not left behind in the nation’s forward march.
In his closing remarks, JCSUPT. Hilbert M. Flor passionately urged broader participation: “We encourage every agency, every partner in government and civil society to join us in this noble endeavor. Together, we can ensure our PDLs don’t go back to their old ways—or worse, back behind bars. This program is about real change, real hope.”
A CALL TO ACTION FOR GOVERNMENT LEADERS & BJMP REGIONS NATIONWIDE This partnership between PCES Inc. and BJMP CALABARZON is a scalable model—one that can be replicated across other BJMP regions. It is a timely and effective solution to a growing challenge in our justice system: helping rehabilitated individuals rejoin society as productive, empowered citizens.
