The Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court on Wednesday ordered the arrest of the daughter of Ronnie Dayan, the former bodyguard-driver of detained Senator Leila de Lima, for her failure to testify in connection with De Lima’s disobedience to summons case.

Branch 34 Judge Ma. Ludmila de Pio Lim ordered the sheriff in Urbiztondo, Pangasinan to bring Hannah Mae Dayan to her sala.

The younger Dayan, through her lawyer Heidi Soriano from the Public Attorney’s Office, presented a medical certificate showing Hannah was three months pregnant, and that she was in a sensitive condition.

De Pio Lim, however, refused to accept the certificate since it was not notarized.

Hannah was about to testify against De Lima, who had supposedly advised her father to ignore the summons of a congressional inquiry in relation to the alleged involvement of De Lima in the illegal drug trade inside the National Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City.
