Lacson said Dumlao and Mancao, who had been linked to the Dacer-Corbito case, will be more secure with media around to cover their return to the country

"Former Senior Superintendents Dumlao and Mancao should not be hidden from media upon arrival. I need not call to mind what nearly happened to Jun Lozada," he said.

 He was referring to Lozada’s "abduction" upon his arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from Hong Kong in February last year.

 Upon his arrival, a group of officials fetched Lozada and took him on a long car ride.  It was only upon media’s coverage of the disappearance that Lozada was brought to La Salle Greenhills.

 Lozada would eventually go on to bare details of the $329.48-million broadband deal mess involving ZTE Corp. of China.

 As for Dumlao and Mancao, Lacson voiced concern on reports that airport authorities will clamp down on media trying to cover the arrival of the two former police officers.

 "I for one will want them to face the court and tell the truth. As I have said, truth will be my greatest ally, if it will be allowed to prevail in this case," he said.
