The National Bureau of Investigation has issued strict guidelines in its round-the-clock guarding of Jason Aguilar Ivler, who was tagged in the November 18 road rage killing of the son of a top government official, while he is confined at the Quirino Memorial Medical Center.

A memorandum order signed by lawyer Rickson Chiong, Deputy Director for Special Investigation Services, said no less than three agents/special investigators must at all times be stationed in the hospital room with Ivler, who sustained two gunshot wounds when he fought off arresting agents last January 18.

At least three operatives, according to the memorandum, must always be posted in the hallway adjacent to Ivler’s room and another in the hospital lobby to check Ivler’s visitors.

Duty operatives must provide themselves with hand-held radios, the memo stated.

Ivler’s mother and stepfather are also not allowed to sit inside patient’s room simultaneously, and one must always stay outside of the room for errands.

Marlene Aguilar and Stephen Pollard must also inform the NBI agents the identity of their replacements at least one hour before their turnover. The replacements must also have valid identification papers.

“No photographs or videos of Ivler should be taken except when subject is acting suspiciously,” the order said.

“Subject Ivler must always be bound by handcuffs, unless his attending physician specifically request not to be handcuffed, for medical purpose.

“The attending physician’s name must be logged, detailing the time, date and reason/why Ivler must not be bound by handcuffed during treatment,” the order said.

All operatives are likewise forbidden to use the television inside Ivler’s room, while the sliding door to Ivler’s private quarters must always be open to the full view of the duty operatives.

All visitors and family members’ must be frisked for deadly weapons, particularly their belongings, according to the NBI.

Ivler was tagged in the fatal shooting of Renato Victor Ebarle Jr., son of Undersecretary Renato Ebarle Sr. of the Office of the Presidential Chief of Staff, after a road altercation last November 18.
