Faeldon leaves BuCor office, bids staff goodbye

Hours after he was fired by President Rodrigo Duterte, former Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief Nicanor Faeldon left his office, according to Jonathan Andal's report on Unang Balita on Thursday.

According to Team Faeldon's Twitter account, his final words to his staff were: "Do not cry, do not be sad, we were gifted with an opportunity to serve our country. Not everyone is given the gift to serve our country and people."

Faeldon and his wife reportedly left BuCor's Director's Quarter past 1 a.m. on Thursday.

Duterte fired Faeldon amid the controversy on the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) law.

Calls for his resignation came after it was revealed that he signed the document that almost allowed convicted rapist-murderer Antonio Sanchez to be released from prison. —KBK, GMA News
