Since her release, she has been an advocate for prison reform and better rights for the PDLs. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/9/karen-bordador-asks-bini-s-fans-to-donate-unused-napkins-2007" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Karen Bordador asks BINI&#x27;s fans to donate unused napkins to women inmates</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>In her post, the former PBB housemate shared that she was supposed to visit the same facility two years ago–– bringing in several gifts for the PDLs. However, she was denied entry due an “incident” in other jails.</p><div><br/></div><p>“My advocacy is to enlighten PDLs that they do have 2nd chances in life and we want their holistic transformation in motion while they’re behind bars…my intentions are spiritual and nothing else. Likewise, I barely get to even post my visits. I have so many silent visits. No cameras and I’m just busy immersing with them,” she wrote. </p><div><br/></div><p>It was the new warden who reached out to her and happened to be the same warden of the jail she was once imprisoned in. Fortunately, Karen was able to enter this time around and visit the female dormitory of the Quezon City Jail. </p><div><br/></div><p>Karen then shared how many programs they have for the PDLs and was presented with the data that details how they’ve been supporting them.</p><div><br/></div><p>“They had a library, a parlor, a factory room for all their workers that were hired by outside business (and yes, they all have salary), a fashion bags and cutie pillows display of all their amazing projects,” she said. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/5/karen-bordador-celebrates-4-years-of-being-a-free-woman-i-no-longer-live-in-doubt-or-worry-0909" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Karen Bordador celebrates 4 years of being a free woman: ‘I no longer live in doubt or worry’</strong></a></div><p>In her post, the DJ-host shared some photos of her visit to the female dormitory and the short program that they’ve prepared. She expressed how she’s in awe of the system that was built, as the PDLs can incorporate themselves back into society after serving their time in prison.</p><div><br/></div><p>“My smile was soooooo big when I was there. It felt so refreshing. I’ve never seen a jail that had such a full program for their inmates and were just implementing their projects well,” she maintained. </p><div><br/></div><p>“This was such a big turn for me! I’m so pumped knowing everything your jail has done is possible for the other jails too. The mission continues, we visit more women to give them hope while they’re still in their dark tunnel finding their way home,” she ended. </p>
