                    [Summary] => Officials at the New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) are doubtful whether they could carry out an order from a regional trial court judge to call off the execution of a convicted kidnapper for a third time.


An official of the national penitentiary told The STAR that they are facing issues on technicalities and execution rules after a Quezon City judge  issued his fourth execution order for the same convict.


The last order, according to the official, sets the date on Sept. 30. It was earlier set on March and moved to May, then to June.

NBP superintendent Venacio Tesoro said Lara and Licayan must be isolated, based on the rules, since the SC has yet to decide on the motion to reopen their cases.


"We have to stick to the process," he said. "Technically speaking, Lara and Licayan are set to be executed on Feb. 27."
