Just days after receiving public criticism for not following its own rules on visiting hours at its Camp Crame Custodial Center, the Philippine National Police (PNP) announced a change in the rules.

This means longer visiting hours for the likes of detained Senators Bong Revilla Jr and Jinggoy Estrada. Previously, detainees had only two days for “regular visits” and one day for “special visits”.
