Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) programs facilitated for the Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs) confined at the Maximum-Security Compound of the New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City. The two programs are assessed, the VEO Reformation Program (VRP) and the VEO Behavior Modification Focused Program (VBMFP).

This research utilized the Mixed Method Research. The descriptive qualitative design and the triangulation method were used to gather and assess valuable data coming from the respondents. The instrument used to collect data was the questionnaire. A survey was conducted in 2024, at the New Conference room of the Headquarters of the Bureau of Corrections in Muntinlupa City participated by twenty security officers and twenty reformation officers who had experience in managing the VEOs in the NBP. In depth interview was conducted to supplement the data gathered from the instruments. The researcher consolidated and tabulated all the questionnaires.

Results of the study showed that the BuCor Officers, regardless of Ranks, perceive both programs (VRP and VBMFP) as effective in reforming the VEOs. However, the VBMFP was perceived as more effective as it identified the Criminogenic and Risk Factors of the VEOs, give more opportunities for expressing themselves and with close engagement with the Facilitators who provide individual and group counseling. There were however some challenges enumerated which hampered the effective implementation of the program. These are the lack of Policy to direct and institutionalize the program, need for more resources, inclusion of the family and a well-conceived pre and post release assistance with the help of the community. The researcher strongly suggested that the Bureau of Corrections must institutionalized first the Violent Extremist Offenders Behavior Modification Focused Program (VBMFP) as this strategy provides a more effective way of reforming and deradicalizing the VEOs. To formulate a policy which will serve as a guideline in crafting and facilitating the VEOs Management Program. Included in this are the development of a Focused Rehabilitation Strategy; training of personnel and more logistical support for the VEOs; encourage Family participation in the BuCor Reformation Activities; and strengthen the pre and post release programs for VEOs in coordination with other GOs, NGOs, and other socio-civic groups in the community
