“I hope General Albayalde will find it in his heart to forgive me when his charming wife, Mrs. Albayalde, will also obstruct justice with her bare hands by blocking a police van because he’s imprisoned inside and she knows not where he will be brought, or what perchance will happen to him because of a state malady called evidencia plantida de pulis,” statement ni Mrs. Ladlad.
Tugon naman ni PNP Chief Albayalde sa paghingi ng tawad ni Ginang Ladlad, “As to the reported apology of Mrs. Fides Lim-Ladlad, I understand her deep concern for the well being fo her husband and as a Christian I am inclined to graciously accept her apology.”

” The PNP thus enjoins all parties to seek redress in the proper forum, a right all citizens enjoy under our Constitution. We reiterate our mandate to serve and protect every Filipino, regardless of their political beliefs,” pahayag ni Albayalde.
