House prosecutor and Bicol Saro Party-list Rep. Terry Ridon on Saturday challenged the 18 former bodyguards of former Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co to appear before the Senate blue ribbon committee and repeat under oath their allegations that cash-filled luggage had been delivered to lawmakers and other personalities.
The challenge came days after the former Marine officers surfaced during a June 4 Senate hearing attended by former Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano and other senators allied with Vice President Sara Z. Duterte, where they linked several lawmakers to the alleged cash deliveries.
Ridon said the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on Monday, June 8, to be chaired by Sen. Erwin Tulfo, would provide an opportunity to test the credibility of the allegations in a formal congressional proceeding.
“This is a challenge to the 18 former bodyguards. Let them appear at Monday’s Blue Ribbon Committee hearing chaired by Erwin Tulfo,” Ridon said during the Saturday News Forum at Dapo Restaurant in Quezon City.
