Jimmy Guban's opening statement linking Paolo Duterte to P6-B drugs shipment | ABS-CBN News

Former Customs Intelligence officer Jimmy Guban appeared before Friday's (August 16) joint hearing of four House committees looking into crimes linked to POGOs and dangerous drugs.

Guban previously appeared in a 2018 hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon committee, linking former Police Col. Eduardo Acierto to the shipment of magnetic lifters containing P6 billion worth of shabu in the Manila port in the same year.

Guban changed his tune on Thursday, telling the House quad committee he was threatened after he was cited in contempt by the Senate.

He alleged the involvement of Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte, son of former president Rodrigo Duterte; Mans Carpio, husband of Vice President Sara Duterte; and Michael Yang, who served as presidential economic adviser to Duterte.

Rep. Duterte denied Guban's allegations, saying they do not personally know each other and that the former Customs official's testimony is baseless and lacks credibilty.
