The day people learned that New Bilibid Prison is a hotel

Alixandra Caole Vila - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines – TV sets, WiFi, air-conditioning units, music studio, strip bar, jacuzzi, sauna, not to mention the sex dolls and porn CDs – if it wasn’t for the local news, anyone stepping inside these luxurious detention rooms would have thought that they were entering a five-star hotel in Vegas.

Catching fire on the local news this week is the New Bilibid Prison after having been discovered that apart from the lavish amenities in the pimped out cells, items including Rolex watches, stash of cash and methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu are inside the detention facilities.

Netizens took on the Twitterverse to share their rant and rage over the revolting news.

As quoted from Martin Luther King Jr., "law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress." But if the law and order does not work, we can always rely on the natural law of karma.
