PROBE IN AID OF DUTERTE DEMOLITION

Sept. 15, 2016

The Senate probe of the killings in the government’s anti-illegal drugs war is turning out to be in aid of Duterte demolition and not of legislation.

First: The issues taken up in the resumption of the probe yesterday was TOTALLY IRRELEVANT and turned out to be a MISERABLE ATTEMPT to destroy the reputation of Digong by FOCUSING on the  alleged murders  he had ordered the supposed Davao Death Squad (DDS) to carry out. Second: Look at the OUTRIGHT LIES in the claims of witness and supposed self-confessed DDS member Edgar MatobatoL  

Matobato said in 2002, he and his comrades in the DDS abducted alleged international terrorist  Salem Makdum in the island city of Samal and presented the suspect  to then Davao Presidential Anti-Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) head Ronald dela Rosa. After that, they killed Makdum. But Sen. Ping Lacson, who was the former PAOCTF commander, countered:   “Wala nang PAOCTF noong 2002. Kasi, ako’y senador na nung 2001 at nawala na yung PAOCTF. Kanina pa ako Google nang Google kay Sali Makdum ... gigil na gigil na ako wala akong makita. Baka non-existent yan.” Dela Rosa denied knowing Matobato and alleged DDS leader Arthur Lascañas.

 Matobato said billionaire Davao businessman Richard King was killed inside a fastfood chain branch. But Lacson noted that a quick search on the Internet would show that King was shot in the head at close range in his office.

When Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano asked him if he had indeed testified earlier that they had used masking tape on the bodies of the people they had killed, Matobato answered yes and that he was sure of it. But when Cayetano showed him different kinds of tapes and asked him to point out the masking kind, Matobato picked the packaging tape instead. Even though he  had testified that he and the DDS had already killed 1,000 people

Matobato claimed that in 2010, members of the Davao Death Squad kidnapped and killed four bodyguards of former Speaker Prospero Nograles, who ran for Davao City mayor against Duterte. But Nograles’ son and incumbent Davao City Congressman Rep. Karlo Alexei categorically countered that he cannot remember anyone among their employees or bodyguards, especially those detailed to his dad, who was killed due to politics.

President Duterte's 68-year old sister, Jocelyn, denied Matobato’s allegation that Digong had ordered the murder of a dance instructor who was her alleged lover. She said all her dance instructor friends “are still alive and well."

KAPUWA SINUNGALING na lamang ang maniniwala kay Matobato. 30
