ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Eric Yap in an exclusive interview with the ANC’s “Headstart”
reveals that he has a personal reason for his active participation in the ABS-CBN
investigation for the alleged violations committed by the Lopez controlled
corporation.
One such incident concerns his friend presidential
son Paolo Duterte who is the current representative of Davao city
representative.
Yap recalled when former Bureau of Customs broker Mark Taguba
linked Duterte to the “Davao Group” allegedly involved in smuggling.

Taguba eventually cleared
the presidential son of any wrongdoing, explaining the news linking Paolo
Duterte to any smuggling activity or its
alleged ties with a certain “Davao Group” was only hearsay.
Yap claims the Lopez
controlled media conglomerate did not followed up on Taguba’s claims in clearing
the name of the presidential son.
“May kaibigan ako na
na-allege na drug lord siya sa hearing, nilabas ng ABS-CBN News. Sabihin ko na
ang pangalan, si Paolo Duterte. Sinabi raw drug lord. And then yung tao sa
hearing, yung Mark Taguba, sinabi niya na hindi niya raw na-meet si Paolo
Duterte, wala nang bumawi doon, wala nang nagsabi sa news na hindi pala siya
kasama dito,” he said.
The solon claims the absence
of any report clearing Paolo Duterte’s in any illegal smuggling activities
leaves to a conclusion that indeed he is involved in doing so,
“So ang nangyari ang
naiwan sa utak ng tao na ‘Ah, ito drug lord ito.’ Pero ang totoo, kumbaga hindi
naman siya kilala ng tao,” he said.
A few days back Yap, Paolo
Duterte together with Cavite Rep. Abraham Tolentino, filed House Resolution 853
to investigate the Lopez controlled ABS-CBN corporation over alleged violations
of its legislative franchise.
