Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. said trader Cedric Lee will stay in the National Bilibid Prison Reception and Diagnostic Center (NBP-RDC) for five days.

This, as the convict was received by the officials of the BuCor at the New NBP-RDC after he was turned over by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday, 9 p.m.

Just like his fellow offender, Deniece Cornejo with Prison Number C224P-172 and Simeon Palma Raz with N224P-2079, Lee was assigned Prison Number N224P-2117.

Catapang said, as standard operating procedure, Lee will stay at the RDC Quarantine Cell for five days with no visiting privileges, followed by a diagnostic procedure that includes medical, sociological, psychological, educational, and classification processes for 55 days.
