[0:33] Opo, Madam Chair. [0:34] Walang pumirma para sa inyo? [0:36] Opo, Madam Chair. [0:38] Can we be specific, [0:41] Congressman Ridon, because [0:42] it appears that there are two [0:44] affidavits already. [0:47] The original consisting of five pages [0:49] and the supplemental [0:51] affidavit which was mentioned [0:53] by the Honorable Abante. [0:56] Ah, sige po, maglilina po tayo.

[1:51] Ang supplemental affidavit po ay [1:53] bagong affidavit, [1:56] karagdagang affidavit ni [1:57] Ginong Madriaga.

[2:16] Madam Chair. [2:17] So there is a request [2:19] for Madriaga [2:21] to read [2:22] his supplemental [2:24] affidavit. [2:25] Do you have with you [2:26] the copy? [2:28] Opo, Madam Chair. [2:29] Yes. [2:29] If there are no objections [2:31] from the members, [2:32] then we [2:32] give the floor [2:35] to Madriaga [2:36] to read [2:37] his supplemental [2:38] affidavit.

[2:40] For the guidance [2:40] of the members, [2:42] we also direct [2:43] the Comsec [2:44] if it is possible [2:45] to flash [2:46] in the screen [2:48] the supplemental [2:49] affidavit [2:50] of the resource [2:51] person [2:52] as he read [2:53] the same. [2:57] Kindly provide [2:58] as well copies [2:59] of the supplemental [3:00] affidavit [3:00] to all the members [3:01] and flash [3:05] the same [3:06] in the screen [3:06] as the resource [3:08] person read [3:09] the contents [3:09] of the supplemental [3:10] affidavit. [3:11] You may proceed, [3:12] Mr. Madriaga. [3:14] Please read [3:14] your supplemental [3:15] affidavit. [3:16] Opo, [3:16] salamat, [3:17] Madam Chair. [3:19] Supplemental affidavit. [3:22] I, Ramil L. Madriaga [3:23] of Legal Age, [3:24] Filipino and with address [3:25] at care of [3:26] Annex 2 BGMP [3:27] Camp Bagong Diwa, [3:28] Taguig City, [3:30] after having been [3:30] jury-sorn in accordance [3:31] with law, [3:32] do hereby state [3:33] 1. [3:35] I am currently [3:36] a detainee [3:37] at Camp Bagong Diwa, [3:38] Taguig City [3:39] for charges of kidnapping [3:40] criminal case number [3:42] RMNL-22-05157-CR [3:46] and R-MNL-R [3:48] L-22-05158 [3:51] pending before [3:52] the Regional Trial Court [3:54] Branch 21 [3:55] RTC Manila. [3:56] Two, [3:57] on November 29, [3:59] 2025, [4:00] I executed [4:01] an affidavit [4:02] which was [4:03] subscribed [4:03] and sworn to [4:04] before Attorney [4:05] Sincha [4:05] Viñas [4:06] Pantonal [4:07] on the same day. [4:08] In my affidavit, [4:10] I narrated my involvement [4:11] with then-President [4:12] Rodrigo Roa Duterte, [4:13] PRRD, [4:14] his daughter [4:15] Sara Duterte, [4:16] Sara, [4:17] other members [4:18] of their family [4:18] and their close associates. [4:20] More specifically, [4:22] I provided a personal account [4:23] of the Boris works [4:24] I did for the aforementioned [4:25] individuals, [4:27] including campaign [4:28] and organizing activities, [4:30] intelligence gathering [4:31] and sabotage [4:32] and transportation [4:33] of large sums of money [4:34] under the direct instructions [4:35] of either [4:36] PRRD or Sara. [4:38] Three, [4:39] with my consent, [4:40] my affidavit [4:41] was submitted [4:42] and referred to [4:42] the Office of the Ombudsman [4:44] through a letter [4:45] dated December 15, [4:46] 2025. [4:47] Four, [4:48] after I executed [4:49] my affidavit, [4:50] I learned that [4:50] Sara denied [4:51] any affiliation with me [4:52] and that she has [4:53] no personal [4:54] or professional [4:55] relationship with me. [4:57] She added [4:58] that she has [4:58] never given me [4:59] any instruction [5:00] of any kind. [5:01] Five, [5:02] I received through my counsel [5:03] a copy of complaint [5:04] dated March 4, [5:05] 2026, [5:06] filed by Sara [5:07] or BP Sara herself [5:08] before the Office [5:10] of the City Prosecutor [5:11] Taguig City [5:12] for perjury. [5:14] In her complaint, [5:15] BP Sara reiterated [5:16] that she has [5:17] no personal [5:17] or professional [5:18] relationship with me. [5:20] In fact, [5:20] prior to the dissemination [5:21] of the Madriaga Apidavit, [5:23] BP Sara had no recollection [5:25] of knowing meeting [5:25] or interacting with me. [5:27] Six, [5:27] however, [5:29] her denial [5:29] of any affiliation [5:30] with me [5:31] is absolutely false. [5:32] She lied under oath [5:33] in her perjury complaint [5:34] against me. [5:36] Hence, [5:36] I decided to execute [5:37] a supplemental Apidavit [5:38] providing further details [5:40] on the narration [5:41] I made [5:41] in my previous Apidavit [5:43] with additional accounts [5:44] of other orders, [5:45] tasks, [5:46] or works [5:46] given to me [5:47] by either PRD [5:48] or Sara [5:49] or BP Sara. [5:51] Engagement activities [5:52] with President [5:53] Rodrigo Roa Duterte. [5:55] Seven, [5:57] prior to the 2016 [5:58] national elections campaign, [6:00] I was working for [6:01] then Congressman [6:02] Roylo Goles [6:03] as one of his [6:04] political officers [6:05] specializing [6:07] intelligence gathering [6:08] and sabotage operations. [6:11] Congressman Goles [6:12] decided to support [6:13] the candidacy of PRRD. [6:15] Hence, [6:16] he introduced me [6:17] and endorsed my services [6:18] to PRRD [6:19] during their meeting [6:20] at the latter's residence [6:21] in Taal Street, [6:24] Bangkal, [6:25] Dabao City. [6:25] Around 2015 [6:28] or early 2016, [6:30] he mentioned to PRRD [6:32] that I was previously [6:33] under detention [6:34] and that I later [6:35] survived death row. [6:38] Congressman Goles [6:39] also added [6:40] that I am his [6:41] number one asset [6:41] in the National Security Council [6:43] during his time [6:44] as National Security Advisor. [6:47] Nine, [6:48] when PRRD [6:49] was elected president, [6:51] Cong Goles' brother, [6:52] Ferdinand Goles, [6:53] was appointed [6:53] as a member [6:54] of the Board of Directors [6:55] or the Base Conversion [6:56] and Development Authority, [6:58] BCDA. [6:59] On the other hand, [7:00] PRRD directed me [7:02] to serve [7:02] as a counterintelligence agent [7:04] for the National Security Council. [7:06] Ten, [7:07] however, [7:08] I was never under the employ [7:09] of the office of the president [7:10] or any government agency. [7:13] Instead, [7:13] I was directly employed [7:14] by PRRD. [7:16] I received my salary [7:17] from a certain can last [7:18] IPNP officer [7:19] previously from Dabao [7:21] at the start of every month [7:22] in the amount [7:23] of P100,000 [7:24] to P150,000 [7:26] in cash. [7:28] Eleven, [7:29] as part of my duties, [7:30] PRRD specifically [7:31] instructed me [7:32] to monitor, [7:33] operate, [7:34] and sabotage [7:35] former Senator Trillanes. [7:37] However, [7:38] PRRD was apprehensive [7:39] in ordering [7:40] the assassination [7:40] of Senator Trillanes [7:42] because of the latter's [7:43] support and contact [7:44] in the armed forces [7:45] of the Philippines. [7:46] Twelve, [7:47] sometimes in 2018, [7:50] PRRD asked Sara, [7:51] BP Sara, [7:52] to go to his home [7:53] in Taal Street, [7:54] Bangkal, Dabao City [7:55] to discuss [7:56] the coming local [8:06] elections [8:07] in Dabao City [8:08] where BP Sara [8:09] was going to run [8:10] for re-election [8:11] as mayor. [8:12] During this meeting, [8:14] PRRD introduced me [8:15] to Sara [8:16] and told me, [8:17] Ram, [8:17] ikaw na bahala, [8:17] kay Inday. [8:19] Since then, [8:20] I've frequently met [8:21] and discussed [8:21] with BP Sara, [8:23] then Mayor Sara, [8:24] regarding various matters. [8:26] However, [8:26] she gave me [8:27] strict instructions [8:28] that all conversations [8:29] should be done [8:29] as much as possible [8:30] by call [8:31] and minimize [8:32] text messages. [8:34] Thirteen, [8:35] furthermore, [8:36] PRRD also asked me [8:38] to profile individuals [8:39] associated with BP Sara, [8:41] then again Mayor Sara, [8:42] because she is [8:43] his favorite [8:44] among his children. [8:46] PRRD wanted Sara, [8:47] BP Sara, [8:48] in politics [8:48] instead of [8:49] Paulo Duterte, [8:51] Pulong, [8:51] and Sebastian Duterte, [8:52] Baste, [8:53] who he characterized [8:54] as baliw [8:55] and bading, [8:56] respectively. [8:58] Number fourteen, [8:59] sometimes in 2021, [9:02] PRRD gave me [9:03] $25 million [9:03] to purchase [9:05] high-end motorcycles [9:06] for Sara's use [9:08] while she is [9:08] in Metro Manila [9:09] and other ordinary [9:10] motorcycles [9:11] for our group operations. [9:13] Fifteen, [9:13] hence, [9:14] I bought two [9:15] 2021 model [9:16] Harley-Davidson [9:17] motorcycles [9:17] from a dealership [9:19] in Green Hills, [9:20] Edsa [9:20] for around [9:21] $2,500,000 [9:22] inclusive of accessories [9:24] and around [9:25] $2,000,000 [9:25] exclusive accessories, [9:28] respectively. [9:29] Both Harley-Davidson [9:30] motorcycles [9:30] were placed [9:31] under the name [9:32] of my son. [9:34] I also purchased [9:35] two 2021 model [9:36] Ducati motorcycles [9:37] from a dealership [9:38] in Catipunan, [9:39] Quezon City [9:40] for around [9:40] $3,500,000 [9:42] and around [9:45] $2,300,000 [9:47] respectively. [9:49] In addition, [9:50] I also bought [9:51] accessories [9:51] for these [9:52] Ducati motorcycles [9:52] in the total amount [9:53] of $500,000. [9:55] Both the Ducati [9:56] motorcycles [9:57] were placed [9:58] under my name. [10:00] Seventeen. [10:00] Lastly, [10:01] I also purchased [10:02] seven Yamaha [10:03] and Max motorcycles [10:04] for the operation [10:05] of Initiative [10:06] for Social Justice Innovation [10:07] and Progress Pilipinas [10:08] or ISIP Pilipinas. [10:10] The remaining money [10:11] was distributed [10:11] to my colleagues [10:12] in ISIP Pilipinas. [10:14] Eighteen. [10:15] All purchases [10:16] of these motorcycles, [10:18] including the aforementioned [10:19] accessories, [10:20] were paid in cash [10:20] using the money [10:21] given to me [10:22] by PRRD. [10:24] Custom magnetic litter [10:25] transaction [10:26] with Attorney [10:26] Man Scarpio. [10:29] Sometime in 2017 [10:30] or 2018, [10:32] PRRD told me [10:32] to assist [10:33] the husband [10:33] of Sara, [10:35] Attorney Manasseh [10:35] Man Scarpio, [10:36] regarding a problem [10:37] with the Bureau [10:38] of Customs. [10:39] However, [10:39] no specific details [10:40] were provided [10:41] by PRRD. [10:42] Thereafter, [10:43] Attorney Manse [10:44] called me. [10:45] We later decided [10:45] to meet in front [10:46] of my coffee shop [10:47] in Burgos Circle [10:48] in Bonipasio Global City, [10:51] Taguig City. [10:52] During our conversation, [10:53] he asked me [10:53] to assist [10:54] in facilitating [10:55] the release [10:55] of what he called [10:56] construction equipment, [10:58] which was plugged [11:00] and confiscated [11:00] by the Bureau [11:01] of Customs. [11:03] Attorney Manse [11:04] gave me a contact person, [11:05] a female lawyer, [11:06] to coordinate with it [11:08] regarding the BOC problem. [11:10] After two days, [11:11] I went to the BOC [11:13] to meet the female lawyer [11:14] to discuss the release [11:15] of construction equipment. [11:17] This time, [11:18] I learned [11:19] that the construction equipment [11:20] was actually [11:21] magnetic lifters. [11:22] The same were confiscated [11:23] because it contained [11:24] a large amount of shabu. [11:26] However, [11:27] the female lawyer [11:27] informed me [11:28] that it was difficult [11:29] to release the same [11:30] because it was [11:31] a hot item. [11:32] 22. [11:34] I reported this [11:34] to Attorney Manse [11:35] and we meet again [11:37] in the same spot [11:38] in BGC, [11:39] Taguig City. [11:40] This was the last time [11:41] we met [11:42] regarding the issue. [11:43] Later, [11:44] I learned that [11:44] the content [11:45] of the magnetic lifters [11:46] is at least [11:48] 500 kilograms [11:50] of shabu [11:50] worth 4.3 billion pesos [11:53] were mysteriously missing. [11:56] Dummy accounts [11:57] and bank transaction [11:58] of PRD. [12:00] Despite only earning [12:02] 100,000 pesos [12:03] to 150,000 pesos [12:05] from my services [12:05] to PRD, [12:07] millions of pesos [12:08] went through bank accounts [12:09] opened for me [12:09] by close associates [12:10] of PRD. [12:12] I admit that [12:13] during PRD's term [12:14] as president, [12:14] I served as a dummy [12:15] for the transfer [12:16] of a large amount [12:17] of money. [12:18] These transfers [12:19] were made [12:19] through bank accounts [12:20] that were opened [12:22] under my name [12:23] which include [12:24] but are not limited [12:25] to the following. [12:26] China Bank, [12:27] Legaspi Village, [12:28] Makati City. [12:30] China Bank, [12:30] Main Makati City. [12:32] China Bank, [12:33] near the Perth Station [12:33] at Ayala, [12:34] Makati City. [12:35] PNB, [12:36] Makati Metropolitan Avenue [12:37] Branch, [12:38] Makati City. [12:39] An unknown bank [12:40] in Pasig City, [12:42] Siray Mudo. [12:43] If I may interrupt, [12:45] Mr. Madriaga, [12:46] comsec kindly [12:47] continue flashing [12:48] on the screen [12:49] the pages [12:50] of the affidavit [12:51] from where [12:52] the resource person [12:53] is reading [12:54] and kindly speak [12:57] closer to the microphone, [12:59] Mr. Madriaga. [13:00] Please. [13:00] Thank you. [13:01] Please continue. [13:03] 25. [13:04] However, [13:04] I have never personally [13:06] opened these accounts [13:07] or appeared before [13:08] the said banks [13:09] to process any application [13:10] in relation there to. [13:12] These were opened [13:13] by people close to PRRD [13:14] who informed me [13:15] that money will be [13:16] transferred to these accounts [13:17] for intelligence operation [13:19] and for laundering. [13:21] I was later instructed [13:22] to sign an entire checkbook [13:23] where the amounts [13:24] and pays are left blank. [13:26] I agreed to do this [13:27] because at the time [13:28] I had complete trust [13:29] in PRRD [13:30] and his close associates. [13:32] 26. [13:33] On some occasions, [13:34] PRRD would call me [13:35] to inform me [13:36] that someone [13:37] from the aforementioned bank [13:38] would contact me [13:39] to confirm a withdrawal [13:40] or encashment of checks. [13:47] There were also instances [13:48] where PRRD [13:50] would instruct me [13:51] to personally visit [13:52] the said bank [13:53] to pick up the money [13:55] and bring it to Malacanang [13:56] or to the designated individuals. [14:00] I distinctly remember [14:01] that PRRD [14:02] directed me [14:03] on three separate occasions [14:05] to pick up [14:05] 100 million [14:06] from a bank [14:08] inside the mall [14:08] in Lubaw, Pampanga [14:09] which were all delivered [14:10] to Malacanang. [14:12] On another incident, [14:14] I was informed by PRRD [14:15] that the two land bank [14:16] managers check [14:17] which were to be delivered [14:18] to one of our safe houses [14:19] in Eastwood, [14:21] Quezon City [14:21] in the amounts [14:22] of 84,200,000 pesos [14:26] and 4,800,000 pesos [14:30] respectively [14:31] were issued [14:31] under my name. [14:33] Copies of the two land bank [14:34] managers checks [14:35] are hereby attached [14:35] as annexes A [14:37] and A-1. [14:38] 28. [14:40] To prove the aforementioned [14:40] allegations, [14:41] I am willing to execute [14:43] an apidabit, [14:44] authorization, [14:45] or any other document [14:47] and to perform [14:48] all acts necessary [14:49] for Committee on Justice [14:50] of the House [14:51] of Representatives [14:52] or the courts [14:53] to access [14:53] the aforementioned [14:54] bank accounts [14:55] and all other bank [14:56] accounts under my name. [15:01] Term sharing [15:02] and destabilization efforts. [15:04] 29. [15:06] Sometime in November 2021, [15:08] PRRD mentioned to me [15:09] that Ferdinand [15:10] Bongbong Marcos Jr. [15:12] will run for the president [15:13] while Sarah [15:15] will serve as his [15:16] running mate. [15:17] PRRD added [15:18] that a few months ago, [15:19] BBM and Senator IME [15:21] Marcos visited him [15:23] to discuss [15:23] a possible alliance [15:25] to the 2022 [15:26] national elections. [15:28] During this meeting, [15:29] BBM was able [15:30] to convince PRRD [15:32] to have Sarah [15:33] as BBM's vice president. [15:35] However, [15:36] they also agreed [15:37] that by 2025, [15:38] BBM will voluntarily [15:39] step down [15:40] to give way [15:41] for a Sarah presidency. [15:43] After Sarah [15:44] took her out [15:45] as vice president, [15:46] PRRD had a discussion [15:47] with me [15:48] with retired generals [15:49] of the armed force [15:50] of the Philippines [15:51] where I was [15:53] also present [15:54] regarding all [15:54] the possible scenarios [15:56] for unseating BBM [15:57] by 2025. [15:59] In case he reneged [16:00] on his promise, [16:02] the general objective [16:03] was to ensure [16:04] that BBM [16:05] will only serve [16:06] less than four years [16:07] of his term [16:08] as president [16:08] so that Sarah, [16:10] upon assumption [16:10] to the presidency, [16:12] will still be eligible [16:13] for the presidency [16:14] in 2028. [16:15] 31. [16:16] I remember [16:17] that one of the plans [16:18] considered [16:19] was to sabotage [16:20] BBM's administration [16:21] by using [16:22] some of BBM's [16:23] own men, [16:24] either recommended [16:25] by PRRD [16:26] for appointment [16:27] or allied [16:28] with Lee Dutertes [16:29] to reveal [16:30] supposed corruption [16:31] issues [16:31] that will serve [16:32] as a precursor [16:33] for an impeachment [16:34] complaint. [16:36] 32. [16:37] In the event [16:38] that BBM [16:39] will not [16:39] voluntarily step down [16:41] or hand over [16:41] the presidency [16:42] to Sarah, [16:44] extraordinary measures [16:45] of overthrowing [16:46] BBM [16:47] will be considered, [16:48] which include [16:49] assassination, [16:50] mass resignation [16:51] of government [16:52] officials, [16:53] civil disobedience, [16:55] and even [16:55] an armed assault [16:56] of Malacanang [16:57] palace. [16:59] It was also [16:59] considered by PRRD [17:00] to arrange [17:01] assassination [17:02] or armed [17:02] hits of [17:03] several government [17:04] officials [17:04] in order [17:06] to cause [17:06] massive [17:07] civil unrest. [17:08] The resulting [17:09] civil unrest [17:09] will be used [17:10] as basis [17:10] to organize [17:11] a group [17:12] of military [17:12] officers [17:13] to stage [17:14] a coup. [17:15] 33. [17:16] One of my [17:17] assignments [17:17] was to recruit [17:18] civil groups, [17:19] schools, [17:20] clubs, [17:20] paternities, [17:21] criminal groups, [17:22] and syndicates. [17:24] In DAISARA [17:25] is my [17:25] president, [17:26] ISIP, [17:26] and 2022 [17:27] national elections [17:28] campaign. [17:29] 34. [17:30] In 2020, [17:32] I was instructed [17:33] by PRRD [17:34] and Sarah [17:35] to help [17:35] form a group [17:36] to support [17:37] Sarah's candidacy [17:38] for presidents [17:38] in the 2022 [17:40] national elections. [17:42] Hence, [17:43] I helped [17:43] establish [17:44] and register [17:45] a non-profit [17:45] corporation [17:46] called [17:47] Initiative [17:47] for Social [17:48] Justice [17:48] Innovation [17:48] and Progress [17:49] or ISIP [17:50] Filipinas [17:50] Incorporated [17:52] but to [17:54] us [17:54] supporters [17:55] of [17:55] SARA, [17:56] ISIP [17:56] actually [17:57] stands [17:57] for [17:58] Inday [17:58] SARA [17:58] is my [17:59] president. [18:00] I helped [18:01] establish [18:01] ISIP [18:01] together [18:02] with [18:02] some [18:02] friends [18:03] of [18:03] BP SARA [18:03] and alumni [18:04] of [18:04] San [18:04] Sebastian [18:05] College [18:05] of Law, [18:06] SSC Law, [18:07] including [18:07] Assistant Special [18:09] Prosecutor [18:09] Ryan Ray [18:10] of the Office [18:11] of the Office [18:11] of the Ombudsman [18:12] and his wife [18:13] Aurea [18:14] Fortuna [18:15] Kilala. [18:17] A screenshot [18:18] of one [18:18] of ISIP's [18:19] videoconference [18:20] meetings [18:21] where [18:21] SARA [18:21] and [18:21] Attorney [18:22] Ryan [18:22] were present [18:22] is here [18:24] to attach [18:24] as Annex B. [18:26] I put [18:26] up [18:27] Attorney [18:27] Reynold [18:28] Bonsayac [18:28] wearing [18:28] an Inday [18:29] SARA [18:29] as my [18:30] president [18:30] is here [18:31] to [18:31] attach [18:32] as [18:32] Annex B-1. [18:35] 35. [18:36] I got [18:36] close [18:37] with [18:37] Attorney [18:37] Ryan [18:38] who was [18:39] previously [18:39] a [18:39] professor [18:40] of SARA [18:41] and for my [18:41] associate [18:42] dean [18:42] of SSC Law. [18:44] He shared [18:45] with me [18:45] that SARA [18:45] was not [18:46] particularly [18:46] good [18:47] in school, [18:49] was often [18:50] struggling [18:50] with her [18:51] academics [18:51] and habitually [18:52] rude [18:53] and violent [18:54] to other [18:55] students. [18:56] Hence, [18:57] Attorney [18:57] Ryan [18:57] used his [18:58] influence [18:59] in San [18:59] Sebastian [19:00] College [19:00] of Law [19:01] to ensure [19:02] that SARA [19:02] received [19:03] passing [19:03] grades [19:04] despite [19:04] her poor [19:05] academic [19:06] performance. [19:08] 36. [19:09] Attorney [19:09] Ryan [19:10] and his [19:10] wife [19:10] became [19:11] quite [19:11] close [19:11] to me [19:12] and my [19:12] family [19:12] that they [19:13] agreed [19:13] to serve [19:13] as [19:14] godparents [19:15] in my [19:15] son's [19:16] wedding. [19:17] A pot [19:18] of [19:18] Attorney [19:18] Ryan [19:18] and [19:19] Rhea [19:19] taken [19:19] during [19:20] my [19:21] son's [19:21] wedding [19:21] is [19:22] here [19:22] to [19:22] attach [19:23] as [19:23] annex [19:23] C. [19:25] Shortly [19:25] after [19:26] we [19:26] organized [19:26] ISIP, [19:27] I was [19:27] informed [19:27] by [19:28] PRRD [19:28] that [19:28] funding [19:29] will [19:29] be [19:29] made [19:29] available [19:30] for [19:30] the [19:31] activities [19:31] of [19:32] ISIP [19:32] through [19:33] the [19:34] contribution [19:34] of [19:34] his [19:35] friends [19:35] and [19:35] supporters. [19:37] One [19:37] of [19:37] those [19:38] friends [19:38] and [19:38] supporters [19:39] is [19:39] Lin [19:40] Wei [19:40] Zhang [19:41] who [19:42] was [19:42] the [19:42] financial [19:42] officer [19:43] of [19:44] Parmally [19:44] Pharmaceuticals. [19:45] Sometime [19:47] in [19:47] June [19:48] or [19:48] July [19:48] 2021, [19:49] PRRD [19:50] informed [19:50] me [19:50] that [19:51] someone [19:51] will [19:51] call [19:51] me [19:52] to [19:52] directly [19:53] coordinate [19:53] the [19:53] turnover [19:54] of [19:54] 175 [19:54] million [19:55] to [19:56] fund [19:56] ISIP's [19:57] organizing [19:57] efforts, [19:58] promotional [19:59] and [19:59] campaign [19:59] activities. [20:01] Thereafter, [20:02] a man [20:02] called [20:03] me [20:03] to [20:03] proceed [20:03] to [20:03] the [20:03] basement [20:04] parking [20:04] of [20:04] CEDA [20:05] Hotel, [20:05] Quezon City [20:06] to [20:06] pick up [20:07] the [20:07] said [20:07] amount. [20:08] Thus, [20:09] I [20:09] hurriedly [20:09] went [20:10] to [20:10] the [20:10] place [20:11] with [20:11] my [20:11] cousin [20:11] Rosendo [20:12] Madriaga. [20:13] As [20:14] I [20:14] recall, [20:14] the [20:15] money [20:15] was [20:15] placed [20:16] inside [20:17] several [20:18] large [20:18] backpacks [20:19] and [20:19] bags [20:19] which [20:20] were [20:20] handed [20:20] to [20:20] me [20:21] at [20:21] basement [20:22] of [20:22] parking [20:22] of [20:23] CEDA [20:23] Hotel, [20:24] Quezon City. [20:25] I [20:25] loaded [20:25] the [20:26] same [20:26] to [20:26] my [20:26] white [20:27] Toyota [20:27] Land Cruiser. [20:29] Lin [20:29] Wei [20:29] Xiong [20:30] was [20:30] present [20:30] when I [20:31] received [20:31] the [20:31] said [20:31] amount [20:32] together [20:32] with [20:32] two [20:32] other [20:33] individuals. [20:35] He [20:35] then [20:35] asked [20:35] me [20:35] where [20:36] will [20:36] the [20:37] money [20:37] be [20:38] used. [20:38] I [20:39] informed [20:39] him [20:39] that [20:39] this [20:40] will [20:40] be [20:40] used [20:40] to [20:40] pad [20:41] election [20:41] of [20:41] Sara [20:42] to [20:42] which [20:42] he [20:42] replied [20:43] good [20:43] good. [20:45] 40. [20:46] I [20:46] directly [20:46] brought [20:47] this [20:47] money [20:47] to [20:48] my [20:48] house [20:48] for [20:48] safe [20:48] keeping. [20:50] Thereafter, [20:51] I [20:51] used [20:51] this [20:51] money [20:51] to [20:52] fund [20:52] the [20:52] campaigned [20:52] activities [20:53] of [20:53] ISIP [20:54] across [20:54] the [20:54] country [20:55] and [20:55] to [20:55] establish, [20:56] organize, [20:56] and [20:57] maintain [20:57] its [20:57] chapters [20:58] for [20:58] the [20:58] purpose [20:58] of [20:58] promoting [20:59] Sara's [21:00] presidential [21:00] bid [21:00] in [21:01] 2022 [21:01] national [21:02] election. [21:04] Some [21:04] of [21:04] these [21:04] chapters [21:05] include [21:05] Quezon [21:05] Binangonan, [21:06] Bicol, [21:07] Antipolo, [21:07] Quezon City, [21:08] Zambales, [21:09] Lete. [21:11] Photos [21:11] of [21:11] Easy [21:12] Pilipinas [21:12] activities [21:13] are [21:13] here to [21:13] attach [21:14] as [21:14] annexes [21:14] D to [21:15] D-7. [21:17] 41. [21:18] The [21:18] expenses [21:19] for [21:19] the [21:19] activities [21:19] include [21:20] costs [21:20] for [21:21] merchandise, [21:22] travel, [21:23] accommodations, [21:24] rental [21:24] fees, [21:26] for [21:26] offices, [21:26] lump sum [21:27] distribution [21:27] to [21:28] identified [21:28] leaders [21:29] who [21:29] in turn [21:30] pleads [21:30] to [21:30] organize [21:30] for [21:31] Sara [21:31] in [21:31] their [21:31] respective [21:32] communities [21:32] and [21:33] allowances [21:34] of [21:34] volunteers [21:34] and [21:34] organizers. [21:37] However, [21:38] upon [21:38] the request [21:38] of [21:38] Attorney [21:39] Ryan, [21:39] I [21:39] personally [21:40] delivered [21:40] $15 [21:41] million [21:41] to [21:41] him [21:41] in his [21:42] office [21:42] at [21:42] the [21:42] office [21:43] of [21:43] the [21:43] Ombudsman. [21:45] From [21:45] time [21:45] to [21:45] time, [21:46] PRD [21:46] would [21:46] talk [21:47] to [21:47] me [21:47] to [21:48] check [21:48] if [21:49] there [21:49] is [21:49] still [21:50] sufficient [21:50] funding [21:50] for [21:51] ECIP. [21:52] When [21:52] this [21:52] initial [21:52] amount [21:53] funding [21:53] ran [21:54] out, [21:55] I [21:55] promptly [21:55] informed [21:56] him [21:56] and [21:56] he [21:57] directed [21:57] me [21:58] to [21:58] get [21:58] another [21:59] 100 [21:59] million [22:00] pesos [22:00] from [22:01] Maestrado [22:02] Lim, [22:04] who [22:04] we [22:04] call [22:05] Tanda [22:05] at [22:06] the [22:06] Hayat [22:06] Regency [22:08] in [22:08] Bonipasio [22:08] Global [22:09] City, [22:14] by [22:14] Maestrado [22:15] Lim. [22:16] 43. [22:18] I [22:18] distinctly [22:18] remember [22:19] Maestrado [22:19] Lim [22:19] because [22:19] he [22:20] previously [22:20] mentioned [22:21] during [22:21] one of [22:21] our [22:21] meetings [22:22] in [22:22] Dabao [22:22] City [22:22] that [22:23] he [22:23] hated [22:24] Filipinos [22:24] in [22:25] general [22:25] and [22:26] Filipino [22:26] businessmen [22:27] in [22:27] particular, [22:28] stating [22:28] that [22:29] peste [22:29] yung [22:29] mga [22:29] Pilipino, [22:30] yung [22:30] mga [22:31] businessmen [22:31] walang [22:32] kwenta. [22:34] Aside [22:34] from [22:34] Lin [22:35] Weijong [22:35] and [22:36] Maestrado [22:36] Lim, [22:36] I [22:37] also [22:37] remember [22:37] that [22:37] Michael [22:38] Yang, [22:38] a [22:38] very [22:38] close [22:39] friend [22:39] of [22:39] PRD [22:40] who [22:41] was [22:41] frequently [22:42] in [22:43] Malakinyang [22:44] also [22:44] provided [22:44] financial [22:45] support [22:45] to [22:46] ISIP [22:46] Pilipinas. [22:47] 45. [22:49] On [22:49] September [22:49] 29, [22:50] 2021 [22:50] and [22:51] despite [22:52] our [22:52] extensive [22:52] campaign [22:53] activities, [22:54] I was [22:54] informed [22:54] by [22:55] Sarah [22:55] that [22:56] she [22:56] will [22:56] no [22:57] longer [22:57] run [22:57] for [22:57] president [22:58] and [22:59] will [22:59] instead [23:00] run [23:00] as [23:01] BBM's [23:02] vice [23:03] president [23:03] in [23:04] 2022 [23:04] elections. [23:06] This [23:07] decision [23:07] caused [23:07] deep [23:08] frustration [23:08] among [23:08] the [23:09] members [23:10] of [23:10] ISIP. [23:11] Hence, [23:12] we [23:12] organized [23:12] a [23:13] video [23:13] conference [23:14] with [23:14] Sarah [23:14] where [23:14] I [23:15] personally [23:15] asked [23:15] her [23:16] to [23:16] reconsider [23:17] his [23:17] decision [23:17] as [23:19] we [23:19] have [23:19] already [23:20] poured [23:20] substantial [23:21] effort [23:21] toward [23:22] promoting [23:22] her [23:23] candidacy [23:23] for [23:23] president [23:24] through [23:24] ISIP. [23:25] During [23:25] our [23:26] video [23:26] conference, [23:27] I [23:27] also [23:28] noticed [23:28] the [23:28] painting [23:29] I [23:29] personally [23:29] gave [23:30] her [23:30] as [23:30] a [23:30] gift. [23:32] A [23:32] screenshot [23:32] of [23:33] our [23:33] video [23:33] conference [23:34] is [23:34] here [23:34] to [23:34] attach [23:34] as [23:35] Annex [23:35] A. [23:37] 46. [23:38] On [23:38] the [23:38] same [23:38] day, [23:39] I [23:39] posted [23:40] the [23:40] screenshot [23:40] of [23:41] our [23:41] video [23:41] conference [23:42] of [23:42] my [23:42] Facebook [23:42] account [23:43] with [23:48] her [23:49] name [23:49] on [23:49] the [23:49] ballot. [23:51] Neither [23:51] can [23:51] go out [23:52] and [23:52] vote [23:52] wisely [23:53] unless [23:53] the [23:53] same [23:54] Inday [23:54] Sara [23:54] Duterte [23:55] Carpio [23:55] appears [23:56] as a [23:57] candidate [23:57] in the [23:57] 2022 [23:58] presidential [23:59] race [23:59] ISIP [23:59] Pilipinas. [24:01] A [24:01] printout [24:01] of [24:01] the [24:01] Facebook [24:02] post [24:02] dated [24:03] September [24:03] 29, [24:04] 2021 [24:05] is [24:06] here [24:06] to [24:06] attach [24:06] as [24:07] Annex [24:07] F. [24:08] Mr. [24:08] Madriaga, [24:09] would you [24:10] like to [24:10] drink [24:10] water [24:10] first? [24:11] Yes, [24:11] Your [24:12] Honor. [24:12] To [24:12] give you [24:12] some [24:13] relief. [24:13] This [24:13] is [24:14] quite [24:14] a [24:14] lengthy [24:15] affidavit.
