The spilling of the beans so to speak continues, erstwhile
compatriot of the opposition Atty. Jude Sabio is telling all.
According to Sabio, the opposition had plotted to topple
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and make Vice President Maria Leonor “leni”
Robredo take his place as the head of state.
This revelation of Sabio, bolsters the Philippine National
Police (PNP)’s inciting to sedition charges against opposition personalities
over the “Ang Totoong Narcolist” videos of Peter Joemel Advincula alias
“Bikoy,” which the Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to resolve this month.

Atty. Sabio withdrew and recanted the mass murder complaint he filed as against President Duterte before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He recalled that
former senator and one of the fiercest critic of the President Antonio
Trillanes IV tried to tap him as counsel of Advincula in April last year
despite his unpaid legal services for Edgar Matobato, the confessed hitman who
linked Duterte to killings by the Davao death squad (DDS) when he was still the
city’s mayor.
“They had the gall
and temerity to recruit me as lawyer for alias Bikoy in order to achieve their
political agenda, which is to undermine and topple President Duterte so that
Vice President (Leni) Robredo would become president,” he said
Sabio refused to be the lawyer for Advincula because the
latter did not even pass the opposition’s vetting process, simply put the truth
of his claims cannot be established.
When the former senator and the opposition pursued Advincula’s
claim despite lack of proof, only then Sabio realized that he was taking part
in a grand scheme of plotting against President Duterte and began to question
the statements of Matobato and Arturo Lascañas.
“When I filed that
communication, I relied on the testimony of Matobato and Lascañas who
demonstrate that there was a system being conducted in Davao that was expanded
later on when President Duterte became president but with what happened in the
Bikoy scandal, I began to question. I began to raise serious doubts about the
contents of that communication,” he recalled.
“Considering that I
went to the ICC for justice, I do not want my communication to be used further
by them for their political agenda,” Sabio stressed.
Sabio said he
realized that there is big chance the President is innocent of the charges.
“Falsus in uno,
falsus in omnibus (Falsity in one, falsity in all). Based on the pattern, it is
very likely also that there is serious doubt about the testimony of Matobato
and Lascañas,” he said.
“In my view, the
President is not guilty, in line with what happened in the Bikoy incident,” he
stressed.
Sabio namedropped,
Trillanes and detained senator Leila De Lima were behind the allegations
against the President.
