00:00Former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog reveals, besides security concerns, he sought asylum
00:06in the United States to prevent the Duterte administration from falsely linking former
00:10Senators Ma Rojas and Franklin Drelon to illegal drugs.
00:14He flew overseas in 2017 after he was included in former President Rodrigo Duterte's narco list.
00:20Mabilog says when he was in Japan, then-Philippine National Police Chief Bato De La Rosa called
00:25him and told him to come home.
00:27But shortly after the call, another unnamed PNP general called and warned him that if
00:32he comes home, he would be forced to point fingers at an opposition senator and a former
00:36presidential candidate as drug lords.
00:39In the House hearing, Mabilog was asked if the two personalities he was referring to
00:42were Drelon and Rojas.
00:44He said yes.
00:45Mabilog's name was not part of the original drug list but was only included later on.
