Dayan Arrested, Confirm Relationship, DeLima Mum

Ronnie Dayan admits relationship with DeLima

Ronnie Dayan, the alleged bagman and former lover of Senator Leila deLima was arrested today in La Union through the efforts of Criminal Detection and Investigation Group (CIDG) - La Union and police officers from the provinces of La Union and Pangasinan. The arrest of Dayan was welcomed by Malacanang as it will shed light on the alleged proliferation of drugs in NBP during the time of DeLima as DOJ Chief.

An arrest warrant was issued by the House when Dayan failed to appear during their inquiry. Witnessess, who are mostly convicts from the NBP, pointed Dayan as the bagman of former DOJ Secretary DeLima. Authorities failed to served the warrant because Dayan went into hiding since the drug issue came out.

Meanwhile, DeLima is keeping mum on this latest news. She said in an ambush interview that she's still thinking of many possible scenarios of what will happen when his former driver will be presented to the media or brought to the Senate or House. Most legislators also welcome the successful arrest of Dayan. However, there are some opposition lawmakers who are worried about the possibility that Dayan will be coerced to testify against President Duterte's nemesis Senator DeLima.

Netizen are also divided on the issue. Some beleive that this will bolster the government's case against the Senator since Dayan is the missing link in the drug matrix. Others, meanwhile, believe that this will be another teleserye  that will be orchestrated by the government, particularly by Secretary Aguirre. For months, the DOJ has put all their resources pinning down DeLima for her alleged involvement in the NBP drug trade. In fact, the DOJ has already issued a subpoena requiring Delima to answer the complaints filed against her by the NBI, VACC, and other groups.

Now that Ronnie Dayan is in government custody, let's see what will happen when the Congressional investigation re-opens. And one of the highlights during Dayan's presentation to the media is his admission of their 7 years relationship.
