SENATE READIES DETENTION ROOM FOR GUO FAMILY: Senate Sergeant-at Arms Gen. (ret.) Roberto Ancan shows the detention room to media personalities Tuesday, July 16, 2024, where suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo and her family would be detained upon serving their arrest order. Ancan said the detention room, located near the open basketball court inside the Senate compound in Pasay City, could house eight people and is fully air-conditioned. “This (room) was the former day care center and we decided to prepare this for them because they are a family and could be together,” Ancan said.
He said the Office of the Sergeant-at-Arms (OSAA) would protect Mayor Guo and her family and keep them safe from outside danger. “We will protect them. I have done this before,” Ancan, a bemedalled former army official, assured the Guo family who had reportedly received death threats. He said OSAA could also call for the assistance of the Philippine National Police posted in the Senate, if needed. (Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau)
