Joenel Sanchez, former bodyguard of Senator Leila De Lima, detailed the unusual closeness of De Lima and ex-driver Ronnie Dayan on Thursday, October 6, 2016.
In his affidavit, Sanchez said the lady senator and Dayan were so close to each other. According to him, they regularly stayed over at the senator’s house, and even slept in one room during their out-of-town trips.
“Madalas din kaming pumunta sa bahay ni SOJ De Lima sa Bicol at kapansin-pansin ang sweetness nila. Habang kami ay bumabiyahe papuntang probinsiya sila po ay nagsusubuan ng nilagang saging saba,” he said.
Sanchez also said that De Lima supply Dayan personal items such as liquor and cigarettes on a regular basis.
In 2012, Sanchez also revealed that another De Lima’s driver named “Bantam” showed him the alleged private video of De Lima and Dayan, but he didn’t finish watching the footage due to its graphic content.
