MANILA, Philippines - Former Maguindanao Rep. Didagen Dilangalen visited the suspected head of the newly formed Justice for Islamic Movement (JIM) at a detention facility at Camp Crame, Quezon City, an official confirmed on Thursday.
 
Police Director Benjamin Magalong, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), said Dilangalen visited Islamic militant Mohammad Ali Tambako on the request of the wives of the JIM leader.
 
"Oo bumisita siya dahil... kakilala kasi siya ng mga asawa ni Tambako at nakiusap sila, 'yung mga asawa, kung pwede alamin, kumusta yung sitwasyon ni Tambako. So 'yun 'yung ginawa n'ya. Sinigurado naman niya na maayos 'yung trato sa ating nahuling member ng JIM," Magalong said. 
 
He, however, clarified that Dilangalen is not Tambako's lawyer.
 
"Hindi siya counsel. Nag-usap kami kahapon at binanggit lang nya nagpunta siya dito dahil pakiusap nung mga asawa ni Tambako," Magalong said. 
 
He said CIDG investigators are still interrogating Tambako and the other five suspected JIM members who have been arrested in General Santos City. 
 
Meanwhile, Magalong said the CIDG is still waiting for the resolution of the criminal cases against Tambako
 
"For resolution 'yung case niya. Hinihintay na lang namin 'yung resolution ng prosecutor's office, from there we will take the cue kung saan namin siya dadalin. Nandito pa rin siya sa ating CIDG at dito siya sa lockup jail na," he said.
