De Lima's viber message to Dayan's daughter: "Pakisabi sa kanya magtago nalang muna sya"
Sen. Leila de Lima's former driver-bodyguard on Thursday claimed it was his erstwhile boss who advised him to hide and snub the House justice committee investigation into the proliferation of drugs in the New Bilibid Prison.
In an affidavit he read out during the reopening of the House probe, Ronnie Dayan said he originally wanted to heed the subpoena issued to him by the House of Representatives, but De Lima allegedly discouraged him.
After learning from his sibling that he was being summoned to the inquiry, Dayan said he instructed his daughter to text De Lima about his plan to show up. He said he had her daughter reach De Lima, since her former boss stopped communicating with him.
"Ang reply niya sa anak ko, 'huwag mo na siyang pa-attend... huwag siyang umattend diyan, pagkakaguluhan lang siya diyan.' Sabi niyang ganun, 'pagtatawanan lang kaming dalawa, magiging kahiya-hiya kami diyan na dalawa," recounted Dayan.
The text message was sent at 6:14 p.m. on October 1, 2016. Dayan disclosed the phone number used to sent the message.
"Gustong-gusto kong attendan yung hearing pero ang sabi ni Ma'am sa text niya sa aking anak... 'Pakisabi sa kanya magtago lang siya.... magtago lang muna siya," he added.
Dayan said De Lima claimed House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, upon the "dictates" of President Rodrigo Duterte, was behind the investigation on her.
"Pagpasensiyahan lang... pagpasensyahan lang siya at akming dalawa kapag mag-appeal siya... kahiya-hiya, ano... pagpipiyestahan lang siya at silang dalawa kapag nag-appear siya sa hearing," said Dayan.
That, as it turned out, was the last communication between Dayan's camp and De Lima. "Nung pangalawa po, pina-text ko, pinatawagan ko, hindi na siya nagre-reply. Nag decide na ako magtago na kasi hindi siya makontak, eh. Hindi na rin niya nirereplyan ang aking anak," said Dayan.
