OSAA head Roberto Ancan inspected the room which has three bunk beds where Guo and her family would be detained if the Senate sergeant-at-arms succeeds in serving its arrest order on the suspended mayor and her companions.
OSAA will primarily be in charge of their safety, but the Philippine National Police may be tapped for assistance.
Ancan assured the resource persons of their safety, especially of Guo, whose detention facility is beside a PNP detachment. He noted that there will be a medical team ready for their needs as well.
“Here I can assure her security 24/7. I’ve done it before. I was a commander before, and I assured the people within my area of responsibility that they are safe,” said Ancan, a retired Army officer.
Apart from Guo, the Senate has also ordered the arrest of Siemen Guo, Wesley Guo, Sheila Guo, her alleged mother Wen Yi Lin and Dennis Cunanan after they failed to appear before the Senate committee on women, children, family relations and gender equality chaired by Sen. Risa Hontiveros.
The OSAA chief said the structure was formerly an air-conditioned daycare center, where there is water dispenser and a table.
