A woman looking for holiday accommodation in the Philippines accidentally messaged the official account of a women's prison, asking if there were any vacant rooms for the weekend. The prison administration's reply, "Madam, this is a women's prison," along with the shared correspondence, attracted great interest on social media.
A woman planning a weekend trip to Baguio City in the Philippines accidentally sent a message to the official social media account of the Baguio City Women's Correctional Facility while looking for a place to stay. She asked if there were any available rooms for the weekend, stating that she wanted to stay at the facility.
"MA'AM, THIS IS A WOMEN'S PRISON"
Prison staff politely replied to her message, saying, "Ma'am, this is a women's prison." Realizing her mistake, the woman quickly sent a brief apology.
THEY SHARED THE CORRESPONDENCE WITH PERMISSION
After obtaining the woman's consent, the Philippines Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) shared a screenshot of the exchange on its official Facebook account. In the post, they reminded the public that prisons are not hotels, while emphasizing that they continue to provide safe and humane conditions for those under their supervision.
AMUSING COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments. Some users humorously commented, "At least there would be no security issues" and "Includes three meals a day."
