#KuwentuhangPiitan: A Community Engagement in the New Bilibid Prison

Volunteerism | Jul 01, 2023 | Volunteer Event

YOU are invited to experience New Bilibid Prison without incarceration by participating in our Community Engagement Program.

Community Engagement (CE), a program of the PJPS, is primarily established to raise the level of awareness and consciousness of members of the free society about the realities besetting the people in the prison community. Thus, providing actively engaging participants (and through them the broader community where they are in) the opportunity to see a new perspective on the world and the way other people live, particularly the PDLs and their families.
