Judge Nina Antonio-Valenzuela, of Manila City Regional Trial Court (MCRTC) Branch 28, released a two-page HDO last Thursday. It was sent to the BI and DFA at noon yesterday.
Valenzuela issued a warrant of arrest against Jaylo, who headed the defunct Presidential Anti-Illegal Recruitment Task Force (PAIRTF) two weeks ago.
Regional Director Reynaldo Esmeralda, of the National Bureau of Investigation-Special Task Force (NBI-STF) said the HDO was necessary to prevent Jaylo from fleeing.
He is verifying information that the former PAIRTF chief is hiding in the outskirts of Metro Manila.
The NBI-STF chief also contacted friends who know Jaylo and asked them to intercede. Among those contacted was Go Teng Kok, who heads the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association. – Evelyn Macairan
