Customs witness may lose immunity for not telling whole truth, warns lawmaker

THE alleged fixer at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) who linked President Rodrigo Duterte’s son and son-in-law to corruption in the agency may lose his immunity over “material differences” in his testimony, according to a lawmaker.

"The testimony of Mark Taguba in the House (of Representatives) and in the Senate have material differences and because of that I cannot accept his testimony in good faith. There is a legal precept: falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus. Mr. Taguba has not told Congress the whole truth and it may cost him his Congressional immunity," Rep. Jericho "Koko" Nograles said.
