Sen. Rodante Marcoleta holds a press conference inside the Sandiganbayan premises, and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) says it is permitted. BJMP spokesman Jail Superintendent Jayrex Bustinera states that the forum between the senator and reporters on Thursday is within what the anti-graft court allows.

BJMP says it is only implementing directives from the Sandiganbayan. The reporting also notes that Marcoleta earlier appeared before the Sandiganbayan Third Division for a bail hearing. While the outlet emphasizes the permission aspect, there are no additional contrasting details in the provided sources about restrictions or the specific conditions imposed by the court.
