Two former inmates, also called persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) travelled more than 10 hours from the Bicol Region just to attend their alumni homecoming on Fridaty, Jan. 16, at of the University of Perpetual Help Bilibid Extension School in Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila.
The two ex-PDLs, identified only as Ted of Legaspi, Albay, and Pedro from Sorsogon, have since regained their freedom and started life anew using their academic knowledge obtained from the special Perpetual Help school.
Ted, now 63, has set up his own soap-making business in Legaspi, while Pedro is currently a duly-licensed full-time teacher in Sorsogon.
More than 31 graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship from the school inside the national penjtentiary attended their reunion, mostly all of them having a good story to tell after their sentences.
