Ramil Madriaga’s new claim that former Congressman Arnie Teves wants him dead is comical, Salvador Paolo Panelo Jr., legal counsel of Vice President Sara Duterte, said in a press release.
“Let us recall that Madriaga, through his counsel, previously claimed that Vice President Sara Duterte visited him in jail to persuade him not to testify. That story was quickly debunked by DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla, who confirmed that VP Sara visited Teves, not Madriaga. Since his lie was exposed, Madriaga has conveniently shifted his narrative to insinuate that VP Sara, through Teves, is behind the alleged threat to his life,” Panelo said.
This obvious falsehood is entirely on brand for someone who has lied through his teeth about his supposed association with the Vice President, and his own background.
The House Justice Committee’s blind acceptance of this ridiculous and unsubstantiated narrative from a “polluted source” only confirms the Committee’s willingness to entertain fabrications in pursuit of a politically motivated agenda, he added, referring to the Perjury Complaint vs. Ramil Madriaga.*
