Authorities on Tuesday launched a search operation in the house of Ronnie Dayan, the former bodyguard and driver of Senator Leila de Lima.

Dayan, according to President Rodrigo Duterte, was De Lima's lover aside from serving as her driver. He has not been seen in public since the President linked him to the illegal drug trade in August.

An arrest warrant is being executed after he failed to appear in the House inquiry on the illegal drug trade in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).

Aside from searching his house in Urbiztondo, Pangasinan, authorities also went to Dayan's so-called "white house," which is allegedly a gift from De Lima.
