Witness to Customs corruption does ‘about face’ on Duterte son, son-in-law

A KEY witness in the ongoing Senate investigation into the illegal entry of P6.4 billion shipment of “shabu” into the country did an “about face” on Friday when he apologized to President Rodrigo Duterte’s son and son-in-law for being the cause of “fake news”.

Alleged Bureau of Customs (BOC) “player” Mark Ruben Taguba 2nd cleared Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte and his brother-in-law Manases Carpio, husband of Mayor Sara Duterte, of any involvement in the anomalies in the bureau, including the illegal shipment of P6.4 billion worth of “shabu” from China and alleged payoff to Customs officials and staff.
