Almost at the same time Abale was seized, eight to ten armed men surrounded the house of Danilo, Michael Celeste's father. They asked Danilo where they could find his son.
Halos kasabay ng pagdukot kay Abale, pinalibutan din ng walo hanggang sampung armadong lalaki ang bahay ni Danilo, ama ni Michael Celeste. Tinanong nila si Danilo kung nasaan ang kanyang anak na lalaki.
