00:00The former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog was forced to leave the country after he was included in the former President Rodrigo Duterte's narco-list.
00:12He was accused of having plans to forcefully sell drugs to a former presidential candidate and a former senator.
00:21Ian Cruz has this report.
00:24The Mayor of Iloilo City, I see you next.
00:35This is one of the videos that the former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog showed during the House Quad Committee hearing.
00:43President Duterte repeatedly threatened to kill me.
00:53I hope that the hardships, persecution, trauma, and nothing will not be experienced by others.
01:14He endured seven years of torture in fear after he was included in Duterte's narco-list in 2016.
01:25I was not and never will be a drug protector.
01:29This PRRD list became a hit list.
01:36The name of the enemy in politics was included.
01:39According to Jed Mabilog, on August 28, 2017, PNP Regional Director Bernardo Diaz called him and invited him to meet PNP Chief Ronald De La Rosa in Camp Krame.
01:52But he was called by a police colonel who did not want him to go.
01:56He warned me not to go to Camp Krame because my life was in danger.
02:01Soon after, my wife received a chilling text from a PNP colonel's wife.
02:07Do not proceed.
02:09There are 20 men surrounding your house.
02:13If you go to Camp Krame, they will kill you.
02:16In fear, he flew to Japan the next day.
02:20In a message, General Diaz told him to call a number.
02:26I made the call and spoke to General Bato.
02:29He told me he knew I was innocent, that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs.
02:36And he promised to help me.
02:38But he urged me to be careful, repeating his pledge to help.
02:43But next, he made another call that he did not call.
02:47It was another general.
02:49Mayor, do not return.
02:51If you go to Krame, you'll be forced to point fingers to an opposition senator
02:58and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
03:02Is it Senator Marawas, former Senator Marawas?
03:06Yes, sir.
03:07Is it former Senator Drilon, which is your cousin?
03:15Yes, sir.
03:16The possible root is politics.
03:19Because you did not support during the 2016 presidential elections, is that so?
03:25Yes, Your Honor.
03:26Who won the presidential candidate in Iloilo at that time?
03:32Your Honor, Manuel Rojas.
03:35The former president got the lowest percentage votes all over the country in Iloilo.
03:44Dela Rosa said that before Mabilog left, he called him and asked him to go to Krame to protect him.
03:53It's hard to believe that he asked Mabilog to go there to kill him.
03:58GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of Diaz and Duterte, as well as Drilon and Rojas.
