Aside from former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Governor Zaldy Ampatuan, also found guilty as principal and sentenced to reclusion perpetua without parole were his brothers Datu Andal “Unsay” Ampatuan Jr., Datu Anwar Sajid “Datu Ulo” Ampatuan, Datu Anwar “Datu Ipi” Ampatuan Jr., Insp. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said 27 of the 28 convicts have already been transferred to the New Bilibid Prison (NBP). Meanwhile, Chaclag said the Maguindanao massacre convicts are already inside the NBP’s Maximum Security Compound instead of the Reception and Diagnostic Center (RDC) to start the standard operating procedure (SOP) for new inmates. ADVERTISEMENT“They have their own secured places inside the Maximum Security,” Chaclag said adding that they opted to send them straight to the Maximum Security Compound because of their number.
