00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04The former mayor of Iloilo City was emotionally facing the camera.
00:09He denied the allegations of the former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:14after he was included in his narco-list with no basis.
00:18He also mentioned that he was invited to Campo Crame
00:21to order the arrest of a former presidential candidate and a drug senator.
00:27However, he accepted the tip and was killed on the spot.
00:30Ian Cruz was stabbed.
00:57The truth will prevail and not the political or personal interests of some.
01:21The former mayor of Iloilo City, Jed Patrick, could not contain his emotions
01:25when he faced the camera's quad committee
01:28that was investigating illegal drugs and extrajudicial killings.
01:32Here, he told the fear and hardship he experienced
01:35within seven years after he was included in the former President Duterte's narco-list.
01:41A list containing the names of well-known public officials
01:47who were not included in illegal drugs,
01:51without a basis,
01:54and who were never proven.
01:57The mayor of Iloilo City, Jed Patrick,
02:01also showed videos of the former President Duterte.
02:06This is not just a bluff.
02:10He can prove it.
02:14On August 28, 2017,
02:16Mabilog received a call from PNP Regional Director, Bernardo Diaz,
02:20who became his source of income.
02:22At that time, he was PNP chief, Ronald Bato de la Rosa,
02:25in Campo Crame on the afternoon of the next day.
02:28But he received a call from someone he did not name as a police colonel.
02:32A PNP colonel called me in a voice that sent shivers down my spine.
02:41It was literal.
02:43He warned me not to go to Camp Crame because my life was in danger.
02:49The fear that had been simmering now erupted.
02:53Soon after, at 6.32 p.m.,
02:56my wife, Marivic, received a chilling text from a PNP colonel's wife.
03:03Do not proceed.
03:05There are 20 men surrounding your house.
03:09And if you go to Camp Crame, they will kill you.
03:19The terror was paralyzing.
03:22I couldn't believe it.
03:24My life and my family's life was hanging by a thread.
03:30In fear, he went to Japan the next day.
03:35However, he received a message from General Diaz to call a number.
03:41I made the call and spoke to General Bato,
03:44who expressed his sympathy.
03:47He was talking to me in Bisaya.
03:49He told me he knew I was innocent,
03:53that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs,
03:56and he promised to help me.
03:58I told him I would finish my work abroad
04:02and return to meet him.
04:04But he urged me to be careful, repeating his pledge to help.
04:14Just after that call, my Philippine cell phone rang.
04:19This time, it was another general.
04:22His voice was grim.
04:24Mayor, do not return.
04:28Your life is in danger.
04:31The accusations against you are all fabricated.
04:35But if you go to Crame,
04:37you'll be forced to point fingers to an opposition senator
04:42and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
04:52You were told that you will pinpoint
04:59a certain former senator and a certain president.
05:05Is it former Senator Marawas?
05:09Yes, sir.
05:10Is it former Senator Drilon, which is your cousin?
05:18Yes, sir.
05:19From Japan, he went straight to America
05:23and applied for political asylum
05:25where he self-exiled with his family.
05:28The police officials denied his name,
05:32which made him feel better,
05:34so he was asked to sign some papers.
05:37Mabilog believes that his marriage to Duterte Narcolis
05:41is based on politics.
05:43Probably, Your Honor, I would say that because
05:46then-Senator Frank Dilon is my second cousin,
05:53and number two is the former president
05:57got the lowest percentage votes all over the country in Iloilo.
06:04GEM Integrated News is still trying to get the votes
06:07of Diaz, De La Rosa, and Duterte,
06:10as well as Drilon and Rojas.
06:12In our interview with former Mayor Jed Mabilog
06:15after attending the hearing,
06:16he said that he has no plans to return to politics in 2025
06:20and if he is the only one to decide,
06:22he does not want to file a complaint against former President Rodrigo Duterte
06:26because he wants to move on.
06:28Why don't you file a case against him?
06:34Your Honor, first and foremost, as a Christian,
06:38I have forgiven him already.
06:41Yes, the thing is, yes.
06:43And, Your Honor, I will discuss that with my lawyers.
06:49For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz.
06:5224 Hours.
06:55Former PNP chief and now-Senator Bato De La Rosa
06:59confirmed that he sent former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog
07:03to Camp Krame to protect him.
07:05De La Rosa insisted that Mabilog did not believe
07:09what he said during the hearing of the camera
07:12that he sent him to Krame to kill.
07:16Mabilog was able to talk to the telephone before it was lost.
07:19He also assured the former mayor that he will convince former President Rodrigo Duterte
07:25that he is a good person and that he is helping in the program against PNP drugs.
07:30Mabilog confirmed that he is going to Krame but he also replied.
