“So para ba may peace of mind siya na talagang safe siya at hindi mangyayari, within the compound merong ibang mga facilities na pwede […] Kasi meron pang dalawang rooms doon, ‘yong dating room ni Senator Jinggoy Estrada at saka ‘yong kay Senator Revilla, so pwede naming palinis, paayos kasi parang quarters ng SAF eh. We could offer those,” he added.
De Lima was taken hostage by Feliciano Sulayao Jr., a detainee who tried to escape the detention facility. After two of the hostage-taker’s companions were killed, Sulayo proceeded to De Lima’s room and took the former senator hostage at knife-point. Police tried to negotiate but later shot the suspect dead. De Lima is presently staying at the PNP General Hospital after complaining of chest pains.
