LACIERDA AS BRIDGE
\nIt was Lacierda who served as the bridge to Napoles\u2019 surrender. Lacierda was once an associate in a law firm co-headed by Kapunan.
\nIt was Wednesday noon when Lacierda first called up Kapunan upon seeing a news item on the ABS-CBN News Channel quoting Kapunan that her client is willing to surrender if her security could be ensured.
\n\u201cSo I said: \u2018So what do you want? So you want to surrender?\u2019 And she said at that point: \u201cWe would like to surrender. If at all, let me confirm with my client that we would like to surrender to the President.\u201d Why the President? \u201cBecause [he\u2019s] the person that we trust,\u2019\u201d Lacierda narrated to reporters.
\nLacierda then informed the President of the developments who then instructed Secretary Mar Roxas and Chief PNP Director General Alan Purisima to make the necessary security preparations.
\nLacierda boarded a vehicle escorted by security personnel to meet Kapunan in the agreed meeting place. Kapunan was with Janet\u2019s husband, retired Marine major Jimmy Napoles.
\n\u201cWhen they boarded, I asked them: \u2018Where are we going?\u201d And sinabi ni Mr. Jimmy Napoles\u2026 was: \u2018Let\u2019s go to Heritage Park,\u2019\u201d Lacierda said.
\nLacierda was updating the President of the developments. The President was concerned about Lacierda\u2019s safety.
\n\u201cThe President made sure to tell, instructed Secretary Mar Roxas, to provide this thing with escorts kasi nga PNP si\u2026 DILG si secretary Mar Roxas. So the President was concerned for my safety, so that\u2019s why we had to inform the President, nasaan na ako,\u201d Lacierda said.
\nLacierda, however, had no clue that Heritage Park was a cemetery located in Taguig.
\nAsked if he felt any apprehension about his safety given the nature of the final meeting place, Lacierda said, \u201cYou know, the benefit of it was I didn\u2019t know where that place was. Hindi ako taga-roon e. So sinabi \u2018Heritage, punta tayong Heritage.\u2019 Sabi \u2018nung driver, alam niya, so hindi ko alam kung ano \u2018yon e. So hindi ko pala alam sementeryo pala \u2018yon.\u201d
