00:00Former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog became emotional when he told the Quad Committee hearing in the Chamber about what he did
00:08after being included in the former President Rodrigo Duterte's narcone list.
00:12Here is the news of Ian Cruz.
00:14I hope that the hardships, persecution, trauma, and nothing else that we have experienced will not be experienced by others.
00:44I will seek the truth and not the political or personal interests of others.
01:04Former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog could not contain his emotions when he told the Quad Committee hearing in the Chamber
01:11about what he did after being included in the former President Rodrigo Duterte's narcone list.
01:25Mabilog even showed videos of the former President's narcone list.
01:32On August 28, 2017, Mabilog received a call from PNP Regional Director Bernardo Diaz, who invited him to meet
01:41PNP Chief Ronald Bato de la Rosa at Camp Krame on the afternoon of the next day.
01:46But he received a call from someone he did not name as a police colonel.
01:51A PNP colonel called me and, in a voice that sent shivers down my spine, warned me not to go to Camp Krame because my life was in danger.
02:07The fear that had been simmering now erupted.
02:12Soon after, at 6.32 p.m., my wife Marivic received a chilling text from a PNP colonel's wife.
02:22Do not proceed. There are 20 men surrounding your house, and if you go to Camp Krame, they will kill you.
02:32The terror was paralyzing. I couldn't believe it. My life and my family's life was hanging by a thread.
02:48In fear, he went to Japan the next day.
02:53However, he received a message from General Diaz to call a number.
02:59I made the call and spoke to General Bato, who expressed his sympathy. He was talking to me in Bisaya.
03:07He told me he knew I was innocent, that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs, and he promised to help me.
03:17I told him I would finish my work abroad and return to meet him, but he urged me to be careful, repeating his pledge to help.
03:28However, the next day, another person called and gave a warning.
03:32Just after that call, my Philippine cell phone rang. This time, it was another general. His voice was grim.
03:44Mayor, do not return. Your life is in danger. The accusations against you are all fabricated.
03:54But if you go to Krame, you will be forced to point fingers to an opposition senator and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
04:06Lawmakers asked him who he would point fingers to.
04:11You were told that you will pinpoint a certain former senator and a certain president of all.
04:24Is it Senator Marawas? Former Senator Marawas?
04:27Yes, sir.
04:29Is it former Senator Drilon, which is your cousin?
04:37Yes, sir.
04:38From Japan, Mabilog went straight to America and applied for political asylum where he self-exiled with his family.
04:47Mabilog refused to give his name to the police officials who were kind to him, so he was asked to write his name on a piece of paper.
04:56Mabilog believes that his asylum in Duterte is rooted in politics.
05:01In our interview with former Mayor Jed Mabilog, he said that he has no plans to return to politics in 2025.
05:09And if he is the only one who will make a decision, he will not accept the complaint of former President Rodrigo Duterte because he wants to move on.
05:18According to Senator De La Rosa, before Mabilog left, he received a call from the Mayor that he is afraid for his safety.
05:28De La Rosa asked him to go to Crame and said that he will risk his safety.
05:33But then, Mabilog called and said that he will not go because someone told him to.
05:39Ani De La Rosa, it is very incredible that he will go to Crame and Mabilog to kill.
05:45GMA Integrated News will continue to follow the complaints of Duterte and Diaz, as well as Adrilon and Rojas.
