STATEMENT OF SEN. CYNTHIA A. VILLAR
ON DONDON LANUZA'S HOMECOMING

"I am happy that Dondon Lanuza's 13-year ordeal has ended and he is finally back home. The country deeply appreciates the generosity of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in helping Dondon complete the blood money asked by the aggrieved family.

I wish Dondon a happy, well-deserved reunion with his family, friends, and all the people who have been helping him out through the years." And I hope he can restart and rebuild his life and career back here in our country.
