Filipino Jerry De Leon covers his face with a shirt as he emerges from a house to surrender to police following six hours of negotiations in an apparent hostage-taking incident in Caloocan City, north of Manila, yesterday. Local media reports stated that De Leon used a knife to detain his former partner and their two children inside a house following a dispute, prompting police and concerned neighbours to negotiate with De Leon to surrender.
