Rodel Jayme is now willing to sing.
In a press conference with the authorities, arrested freelance
website developer Rodel Jayme said he is willing to cooperate with the National
Bureau of Investigation in connection with the “Bikoy” videos.
Addressing the newsmen at the NBI, Jayme said he was left to
fend for himself by his former colleagues in the Liberal Party.

"Sa aking kaalaman kapwa ko
po silang supporter noong presidential elections ng partido Liberal
(In my knowledge, they are co-supporters of the Liberal last presidential
elections)," Jayme said when asked to identify the persons who contacted
him to set up a website for PHP2,500 earlier this year.
Jayme said he had even joined his
former contacts in the past administration in campaign sorties to the provinces
in 2016.
He reiterates that his only participation in the Bikoy videos
is only in the setting up of the website.
"Ang website po ay
pinagawa lang saken. Hindi po ako si Bikoy at di rin po ako
nagpakalat ng mga videos (They only hired me to set up the website. I'm
not Bikoy and I didn't circulate the videos)," Jayme said.
Jayme said while he had seen the
video, he did not call attention to his contacts about its contents.
The NBI for its part is still evaluating the rest of the
forensic evidene from the seized devices from Jayme for possible charges.
They are also waiting
for the results of the inquests proceedings before the Department of Justice
(DOJ) after the NBI recommended the filing of “inciting to sedition” against
Jayme, this is in relation to Republic Act 10175, otherwise known as the
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
Jayme had earlier been identified
as the beneficiary in an ad sense account by a number of online personalities,
and as the primary source of the videos featuring alias "Bikoy", an
anonymous accuser criticizing the administration's war on drugs and slandering
the President Rodrigo Duterte's family, including his minor daughter.
The NBI, in its report to the
inquest prosecutor, said its investigation showed that the first uploader of
the video was a Youtube account under the handle name of "Ang Totoong
Narcolist" and was subsequently posted and shared by different social
media sites--Pinoy Ako Blog, Change Scamming, Metro Balita, Madam Claudia and
What the Fact Blog.
NBI were able to seized from Jayme the following, a Cloudfone
mobile phone, a Sky Cable billing statement, and a desktop computer including
its peripherals.
The NBI Digital Forensic
Laboratory team, upon scrutiny of the devices, found that Jayme's Facebook
account was still logged in and key message communications were also recovered.
The NBI was also able to recover a
conversation were a certain "Maru Nguyen" and "Maru Xie",
which the NBI said is one person. In the conversation, Nguyen told Jayme that
"Baka kausapin ka ng Magdalo (Magdalo might talk to you)".
NBI also said a certain
"Filmore", who is a member of Magdalo, was also mentioned by Nguyen
who said the goal was to gain international attention to the posted video.
"Jayme and his cohorts did
not just share/like the videos. Instead the posting is a concrete effort (not
merely a statement of opinion) directed to a more complicated result," the
NBI said, noting that the acts were committed between April 2 to 30.
