The former driver-bodyguard of Sen. Leila de Lima, Ronnie Dayan claimed during the House of Representatives hearing that it was the senator who told him to hide and snub the House probe. The message was sent through a text message to Ronnie Dayan's daughter Hannah Mae who also testified.
Ronnie Dayan learned that he was being summoned by the House of Representatives when his daughter told him through a text. He then instructed his daughter to text De Lima about his plan to show up.
Dayan narrated further that his daughter reached out to De Lima, since his former boss stopped communicating with him.
The former boyfriend and bodyguard of Sen. De Lima was quoted as saying "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 send the message.
According to Ronnie Dayan he really wanted to attend the House Probe but due to the message of Sen. De Lima he decided to keep on hiding until the time when he was arrested by police authorities.
