SANDY ANDOLONG BARRED FROM LEAVING RP

Pasay City, July 11, 1998 - Actress Sandy Andolong, wife of actor Christopher de Leon, has been placed on the "hold departure list" of the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation, and will not be able to leave the country without a court clearance.

The Pasay City Regional Trial Court ordered the BID to issue a hold departure order against the actress following the filing of charges of illegally carrying a firearm outside her residence.

The case stemmed from the discovery of a gun, licensed to Andolong, inside her bag by airport personnel as she, her husband and their daughter were able to leave the country for the United States.

Andolong posted a P60,000 bail bond for her temporary freedom after she was formally charged before the Pasay Prosecutor's Office.

De Leon explained that their maid must have accidentally packed the gun with their other belongings.
