In a press briefing in MalacaƱang, de Lima said a government watch list order (WLO) against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her husband, Mike, remains in effect until the Department of Justice (DOJ) receives a copy of the Supreme Court-issued temporary restraining order (TRO).
She said the TRO cannot be implemented until the Supreme Court rules on the motion for reconsideration that the Office of Solicitor General intends to file before the Court.
"I have ordered the Bureau of Immigration and requested the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications to direct the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and Ninoy Aquino International Airport management and personnel to exhaust all actions to implement the watch list order against the Arroyos," she told reporters.
She added that in the event "the Arroyos appear in the airports or any other ports of exit," all concerned agencies must prevent them from leaving.
