In the case of the kidnapping of a Bohol town mayor, the witness-complainant faced questions over inconsistencies in her two affidavits filed following the July 2017 incident.

Leyson is the best friend and executive assistant of Gisela, who was a commercial pilot before becoming mayor. Leyson said she and her son Moises, who in a different room in the resort, were brought by their abductors to a pier in Tubigon town after the alleged detention. Meanwhile, Gisela was taken away separately and never found again.

Another was that Leyson testified that she took a taxi upon arriving in Cebu to go to an internet shop in Colon Street where she contacted her friend. In her affidavit Leyson stated that she took two jeepney rides. While Dela Cerna’s cross examination may have cast doubt on Leyson’s account of events, Fadullon was confident the inconsistencies would be explained at the next hearing scheduled for the end of the month.
