After seven years of exile, former Iloilo City mayor Jed Mabilog on Thursday stood firm that he was never involved in the illegal drug trade, claiming that the accusations against him by former President Rodrigo Duterte were all “baseless” and “fabricated.” Mabilog, who was included in Duterte’s drug watch list in 2016, became emotional as he appeared for the first time in a joint hearing of the four committees of the House of Representatives to air his side of the story.
However, he said he received a call from a police colonel telling him not to proceed to Camp Crame because his life was in danger. He said his wife also received the same warning. Mabilog said he took the first flight returning to Japan the next day.“Using a public payphone , I made a call and spoke to General Bato who expressed his sympathy. He was talking to me in Bisaya.
