The Philippine National Police (PNP) has adopted measures to upgrade the management of the PNP Custodial Center.

To support this project, the Philippine National Police has sought the assistance of this Office to advise al! lower courts to refrain from issufng orders committing detainees at the PNP Custodial Center considering that the Center has temporarily discontinued the admission and acceptance of detention prisoners within its facility and has prepared the necessary effort for the transfer of several of the detainees to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and other detention facilities.

In view of the foregoing, you are hereby directed to refrain from issuing orders committing detainees at the PNP Custodial Center.

For strict compliance.
