MANILA, Philippines — On his first day as head of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), Gerald Bantag warned crooks in the agency to start packing up their things. “You have no place in BuCor. Leave now while you still have time,” he said on Monday to those who would refuse to support his plan to reform the corruption-hit bureau. The Office of the Ombudsman earlier ordered the six-month suspension of 30 BuCor personnel and officials involved in the GCTA mess. ADVERTISEMENTBefore his appointment to the BuCor, Bantag was the BJMP director in the Mimaropa region.
