Post-Fitness Fashion Show Several policemen have been deployed to secure the St. Luke's Medical Center-Global City in Taguig City following the issuance of a warrant of arrest against Senator Pia Cayetano, businesswoman Rina Go and TV host Paolo Abrera. Superintendent Tomas Apolinario, Taguig City Police chief, said that he deployed at least 30 policemen to secure the vicinity of the hospital. Apolinario said that the deployment was more than the usual, but said that he was strictly ordered by the Philippine National Police leadership to make sure that the hospital is secured. As this developed, a number of agents from the National Bureau of Investigation on board two vehicles were already on their way to the hospital. It was not clear if the agents will serve the warrant of arrest. The order was issued by Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 112 Judge Jesus Mupas following the Commission on Elections' filing of an electoral sabotage case against Mrs. Cayetano, who is being accused of having involvement the three-day vacation with Go and Abrera, society columnist Mons T.
