“When I arrived here in the afternoon, I asked her permission. I told the director of Headquarters Support Service (HSS) to ask her permission if I can visit her. I just want to see her situation if she is safe there,” he said.

“She welcomed me. I talk to her, I told her that if your problem is security, Ma’m, you very secured here, you don’t have to be worry, you’re very safe,” he added.

Dela Rosa said De Lima was in good condition during his visit.

“So far, she is okay there,” he said.

“She did not cry when we talked. She was relaxed. I even asked her if she’s okay if she has asthma because the wall is newly painted. She said she’s okay,” De la Rosa added.

Dela Rosa refused say where De Lima’s detention facility inside the PNP Custodial Center is located for security concerns. DMS

“We cannot say the exact location where she is detained, but she is inside the PNP Custodial Center, we cannot say the specific area for security reason, I cannot also describe again for security reason, suffice it to say that she is very safe there,” he said. Robina Asido/ DMS
