00:00I hope that the hardships that we've been through,
00:12the hardships, persecution, trauma, and nothing,
00:21will not be experienced by others.
00:30And the truth will prevail,
00:43and not the political or personal interest of some.
00:50Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog could not contain his emotions
00:55when he faced the Quad Committee of the Camera,
00:58which is investigating illegal drugs and extrajudicial killings in Pogo.
01:01Here, he told us about the hardships he went through
01:05within 7 years after joining the former President Duterte's narco-list.
01:12Mabilog's videos showed
01:14how the former President treated him.
01:19On August 28, 2017, Mabilog received a phone call
01:23from PNP Regional Director Bernardo Diaz,
01:26who became his source of income.
01:28He also received a phone call from PNP Chief Ronald Bato de la Rosa
01:31at Camp Krame the next afternoon.
01:33But he received a phone call from someone
01:36whom he did not mention as a police colonel.
01:37A PNP colonel called me and,
01:41in a voice that sent shivers down my spine,
01:46literal po yun,
01:48warned me not to go to Camp Krame because my life was in danger.
01:53The fear that had been simmering now erupted.
01:58Soon after, at 6.32pm,
02:01my wife, Marivic, received a chilling text
02:05from a PNP colonel's wife.
02:08Do not proceed.
02:10There are 20 men surrounding your house
02:14and if you go to Camp Krame, they will kill you.
02:24The terror was paralyzing.
02:27I couldn't believe it.
02:29My life and my family's life
02:32was hanging by a thread.
02:35Out of fear, he decided to go to Japan the next day.
02:40However, he received a message from General Diaz
02:44to call a number.
02:46I made the call and spoke to General Bato
02:49who expressed his sympathy.
02:51He was talking to me in Bisaya.
02:54He told me he knew I was innocent,
02:58that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs
03:01and he promised to help me.
03:02I told him I would finish my work abroad
03:07and return to meet him
03:09but he urged me to be careful
03:11repeating his pledge to help.
03:14But right after this,
03:16another person called and gave a warning.
03:19Just after that call,
03:21my Philippine cellphone rang.
03:24This time, it was another general.
03:27His voice was grim.
03:28Mayor, do not return.
03:31Your life is in danger.
03:34The accusations against you are all fabricated.
03:38But if you go to Krame,
03:40you'll be forced to point fingers
03:43to an opposition senator
03:46and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
03:50The judges asked him
03:52who he was going to teach.
03:55You were told
03:57you will
04:00pinpoint
04:03a certain former senator
04:06and a certain president of the ball.
04:09Is it Senator Marawas,
04:11former Senator Marawas?
04:13Yes, sir.
04:15Is it
04:17former Senator
04:19Drilon, which is your cousin?
04:22Yes, sir.
04:24So from Japan,
04:26Mabilog went straight to America
04:28and applied for political asylum
04:30where he self-exiled with his family.
04:33Mabilog refused to give his name
04:35to the police officials
04:37who were kind to him
04:39so he was forced to sign
04:41by the judges.
04:43Mabilog believes that politics
04:45is the root of his membership
04:47in the Duterte Nacolist.
04:49In our interview with former Mayor Jed Mabilog
04:51after attending the hearing,
04:52he said that he has no plans
04:54to return to politics in 2025
04:56and if he is the only one to decide,
04:58he does not want to file a complaint
05:00against former President Rodrigo Duterte
05:02because he wants to move on.
05:04According to Senator De La Rosa,
05:06before Mabilog left,
05:08he received a call from the Mayor
05:10that he is afraid
05:12for his safety.
05:14De La Rosa pointed this out
05:16and said that his safety
05:18will be ensured.
05:20But in the end,
05:22Mabilog decided not to go
05:24because someone told him to.
05:26Ani De La Rosa said that
05:28it is very incredible
05:30that he will go to the Kramis Mabilog
05:32to kill.
