16 detainees from the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) on Monday denied scheming to kill President-elect Rodrigo Duterte and approaching Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald Dela Rosa.
Dela Rosa prior uncovered that drug lords have set up a bounty for his and Duterte's head.
He said the bounty was at first at P10 million, however, was raised to P50 million on the grounds that there was "no taker."

In any case, a source told that the bounty was higher on the grounds that every crime ruler had perpetrated P50 million for the bounty.
"Kami ay nanindigan na walang sinuman sa amin ang sangkot sa planong ito kung totoong mayroon man (We keep up that none of us are included in such an arrangement in the event that it's actual that one exists)," said the statement marked by 16 prisoners at Building 14 which was sent to Justice Secretary Emmanuel Caparas.
The prisoners said they were dreadful that such gossipy treats about the bounty were purposely being spread and filled to condition the scared of the general population to legitimize any untoward episode that may transpire.
"More awful, such indicated "scheme" may even be purposefully misused or exploited as a reason to quiet [us] as [we] have previously, hinted on [our] information on the unscrupulous and degenerate practices by the past administration," the pronouncement expressed.
It has 29 cells measuring 8 square meters each. The building is furnished with CCTV cameras, signal jammers, and its own arrangement of gatekeepers.
Building 14 is inside the Maximum Security Compound of the NBP. Its entryway, however, is not available by means of the vigorously protected primary passageway of the national prison. Its prisoners can no more blend with alternate detainees since its exclusive entryway is along the NBP fundamental street prompting the gathering and analytic focus and close to the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) exhibition hall, once in the past the lethal injection chamber.
The DOJ pushed for the redesign of the building taking after an assault in 2014 where powers seized unlawful drugs, guns, mobile phones and different communications equipment, the money of various groups, and costly machines.
The building used to be a chamber for convicts planned to be executed by electric chair. A sum of 84 detainees was executed in the building. The last execution occurred Oct. 21, 1976. At that point, amid the 1980s, it was transformed into a disciplinary range for high threat detainees.
The detainees, through their direction Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, told Caparas that the exchange is considered segregation.
The strike likewise prompted the transitory exchange of 19 detainees to the NBI confinement office at its central station in Manila.
Building 14 detainees who marked the declaration were Jaime Patcho, German Agojo, Mario Tan, Jerry Pepino, Engelberto Durano, Rodel Castellano, Tomas Donina, Noel Martinez, Eustaquio Cenita, Herbert Colangco, Jojo Baligad, Clarance Dongail, Rico Caja, Joel Capones, Gilberto Salguero, and Edgar Sayo Cinco.

"The said detainees wish to stretch that they are neither crime lords nor drug lords, however, were just marked all things considered, or on occasion 'prominent prisoners' unceremoniously by the past initiative of this Department … Such unjustified naming, and subsequently, confinement in Building 14 is, thus, the proximate reason for their present problem," the letter to Caparas expressed.
"It is for the prior reasons that the endless forces of your Honorable Office over the NBP are deferentially conjured so that the correct characterization and isolation of its prisoners might be made in agreement just with just and legitimate base, thus that the detainees' as of now constrained rights may along these lines be secured," the letter further expressed.
