Our rules are very liberal,” Pimentel told reporters during the media viewing of the detention center. Marcos’ detention center will also have a receiving room for her guests who can visit her from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.“All in all, the detention center is around 70 to 80 square meters, plus the toilet and bath.
