HB 8810

House·20th Congress·Filed Mar 26, 2026

An Act Mandating All Correctional, Custodial, and Detention Facilities to Implement a Contraband Detection and Control System, and Providing Penalties for Possessing, Introducing, or Aiding and Abetting the Entry of Contraband Inside Such Facilities

In plain language

The bill would require every jail, prison, and detention center in the Philippines to install modern equipment—such as metal detectors, X‑ray scanners and K9 units—to stop weapons, drugs, phones and other prohibited items from getting inside, and it sets steep prison terms and fines for anyone who brings or helps bring such contraband.
