Montaño was attending a conference in a hotel when he was accosted by joint elements of the Puerto Princesa and Palawan police and the Police Security Protection Group of Cebu.

Montaño was then brought to the Ospital ng Palawan for medical checkup before he was transported to the airport for the trip to Cebu City. 

However, Montaño’s blood pressure shot up, prompting his arresting officers to bring him back to the hospital. As of press time, the mayor was still at the Ospital ng Palawan.
