Gawad Kalinga founder moved to Bulacan jail

Antonio Meloto, the 76-year-old founder of Gawad Kalinga, a well-known community-based organization in the Philippines, has been transferred to Bulacan Provincial Jail following a court's refusal to grant his request for hospital arrest due to qualified trafficking charges. This move comes after the Bulacan Regional Trial Court Branch ruled against his petition, leading to his incarceration on June 17. The implications of this shift are significant, given Meloto's prominent role in philanthropy and community development, raising questions about how this legal battle might impact his organization and ongoing projects.
