In today’s resumption of the senate investigation on extra-judicial killings, Senator de Lima’s star witness hurled serious allegations against President Duterte.
The allegations include the attempted assassination of then DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima, the bombing of a mosque in retaliation of the bombing of San Pedro Cathedral, the kidnapping and murder of Sali Makdum perpetrated by the Davao Death Squad and the list goes on and on.
According to Edgar Matobato, a self-confessed member of the infamous Davao Death Squad (DDS), sometime in 2002, a certain terrorist suspect “Sali Makdum” was kidnapped and brought to the office of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) supposedly to be killed.
PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa was a former PAOCTF officer.
Kinuha namin siya (Makdum) sa itaas ng palengke tapos dinala sa opisina ng PAOCTF. Anim kaming kumuha…Dinala na namin sa quarry at pinatay namin.
PNP Chief Bato dela Rosa denied knowing Matobato and a certain Arthur Lascañas, supposed “team leader” of the DDS.
Here’s how Senator Lacson destroyed the credibility of de Lima’s star witness.
Manong Witness: Mag kakilala kami ni Dela Rosa, pero hindi kami nag uusap…
Lacson: Sir, pareho yata yan sa… Girlfriend ko sya pero hindi nya alam..
On the murder of Richard King:
Lacson: Pakikwento nga ulit kung paano nyo, sabi nyo kasama ka sa pagpatay kay Richard King o sa pagpaplano lamang.
Matobato: hindi ako kasama diyan kasi wala na ako sa kanila, nagpaalam naman ako umalis, ah yung paghuli sa akin, diyan ko lang nakuan…
Lacson: pero kinwento nyo kanina kung paano pinatay si Richard King, paano nga sa sya pinatay?
Matobato: Binaril sa hotel, sa kainan..doon binaril ng dalawa kung kasama.
Lacson: Anong hotel po yun?
Matobato: Mcdo din…Mcdo kumakain.
Lacson: McDonalds?
Matobato: oo.
However, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer report dated June 13, 2014, Richard King was murdered while eating with staffers inside the Vital C Building in Lacson Street when a gun man entered and fired at least twice at his head.
In addition, Senator Panfilo Lacson, once the head of PAOCTF, the anti-crime task force formed by then President Joseph Estrada to combat the rising wave of criminality noted that PAOCTF was abolished in 2001.
The timeline of events presented by the self-confessed DDS member, to say the least, is a big question mark!
Meanwhile, Dr.Antonio Contreras of de La Salle has also expressed doubts on the credibility of the testimony of Senator de Lima’s explosive witness.
In a Facebook post, Dr. Contreras called the attention of Senator de Lima and posed a question directed at the lady senator that reads:
So why did she not file a criminal case? Why only now?
Dr. Contreras says that “Matobato was already with the Witness Protection Program (WPP) when she was still the Secretary of the DOJ. He was an eyewitness, and as such his account would be the best evidence to the alleged crimes committed by the President and his son.”
For failing to file appropriate charges if de Lima’s witness indeed has any credibility, Dr. Contreras says he is mad at de Lima on two grounds: she is either twisting the truth or for her ineptness for the missed opportunity to bring the Dutertes to justice.
Dr. Contreras ended his post with an intriguing proposition that reads:
Either way Leila is still not off the hook. She is either a manipulative liar, or an inept official now using the fruit of her incompetence to score points.

Ay naku Senator De Lima, do not insult my intelligence to believe in you as the one telling the truth. Only a fool will believe in you. You have already lost your credibility. There is still time left for you to redeem yourself . I am not judging you because I also do not want to be judged since all of us are sinners, but in your being a Senator please naman, act as a stateswoman with no evil motive please.
salamat naman a nakita ng buong bayan kung gaano minamanipula nina de lima at trilanes ang imbestigasyon sa senado…
why now? she was the DOJ during the Aquino time why didn’t she do anything?
Delima is the biggest fucking liar of all.. she’s desperate now because her days are numbered
Putol ang tanong eh,pero malamang strike 3 na siya sa susunod na tanong ni Senator Lacson.
DELIMA MUST RESIGN. BIAS CHAIR…..
One point to ponder, is the witness really reliable? We, Davaoeños know that all Duterte children went to school in Philippine Women’s College and not in Ateneo de Davao. One of his grandchildren, Ono, is a classmate of my granddaughter. Liar!! One more lie, radio commentator, Jun Pala, was not killed in Panacan as Matobato alleged, the truth is, he was killed outside the Chinese cemetery near Bio-essence in the Circumferencial Road in Davao City. LIAR!!
I also agree that its a paid and made witness but i like it.im being interested in politics since birth i already memorize that “politics is a dirty game” matira ang matibay.
Politics is a dirty game
Well said Dr. Contreras.

Nakakahiya itong sila Delima and Trillanes. Halata na kayo masyado, sige pa rin siraan ang ating President Duterte and his administration. Kahit grade school ay maasar sa witness nyo. Puros kayo mga idiot! Walang silbi sa lipunan. Gusto po namin ng pagbabago!
taena ka delima halatang halata na ikaw ang may dala ng witness…magbigti kn lang hayop ka isama mo na si trillanes pati si pnoy mga gago kayo….
Para kay De Lima , Trillanes at Drilon….Joh 8:44 Kayo’y sa inyong amang diablo, at ang mga nais ng inyong ama ang ibig ninyong gawin. Siya’y isang mamamatay-tao buhat pa nang una, at hindi nananatili sa katotohanan, sapagka’t walang katotohanan sa kaniya. Pagka nagsasalita siya ng kasinungalingan, ay nagsasalita siya ng sa ganang kaniya: sapagka’t siya’y isang sinungaling, at ama nito.
De Lima pagod na ako sa pagmumukha mo. . . demonyo ka kampom ka ni Satanas.
ingat ka sa pagsasagot mamang witness. kapag sumablay ka ng sumablay malamang ipapatodas ka ni d5 at 3llanes. sayang lang ang bayad saiyo!
di ba sila nahihiya sa taung bayan..manipula ng mali???sen.de lima at trillanes marami sa pinoy ang naghihirap at wag nyo ng dagdagan…pera ng taung bayan ginagamit nyo sa walang kabuluhang usapan…mag focus na lang kayo sa mga bagay na makakatulong sa mga problema at dagdag problema lang ang mga ginagawa nyo..
Kung sino man ang nagbayad sa taong ito para magwitness, kinakabahan na sigurado! Truth will prevail. Actually, naawa ako sa taong ito dahil halatang binayaran lang.
Sayang ang pera ng tao sa ginawang moro moro nila de lima at trillanes sa senado. Nakakasuya at nakakaawa na sila. Sagutin na lang ni de lima mga accusations sa kanya.
You have elected a monster as President.
Have you done your research before calling the president as monster?
Di nadala si De 5w. Di yata masyadong na ensayo Ang witness na Ito? Mali na naman?Ano BA yan ? Napuyat ako Sa pagsubaybay dito… Tapos Ito Lang pala —Palpak na naman !!!!! Haay buhay Sa PinAs.. Nakakabuang!!!!!!
The whole proceedings only shows the real Delima-LIAR
BASTOS DIN YN C DILIMAW PINAHIHINTO NYA MAGSALITA C CAYETANO S PG TANONG K MATOBATO KC APEKTADO XIA NAHUHULI NGSISINUNGALING UN PEKE NYA TESTIGO
I am NOT convinced that Sen. De Lima as Chairperson of that investigating Committee is acting fairly on her position. She has something against Pres. Duterte.
That hearing waste the time that supposed to be consumed for the GoOD PLANS of the administration!
Ang purpose ni Delima dito e siraan ang presidente both international and here in the Philippines dito sa kaso ni Matobato. Ang kaso hinawakan nya na itong kasong ito noong nasa DOJ pa sya bilang secretary at nadesisyunan nya na walang kaugnayan o hindi pwadeng panghawakan ang mga sinasabi ni Matobato laban sa mga Duterte. At ngayon dinala nya sa senado para sa anong dahilan e tapos nya nang na imbestigahan yan nung secretary pa sya at idinagdag pa ang pag ambush sana sa kanya sa lugar na hindi nya naman pupuntahan. Ngayon ang dapat na paninira nya siya ang nasira dahil hindi nya ginampanan ang pagiging DOJ secretary niya.
walang kredibilidad yung star witness dapat yan ang ikulong sa pagsasabi ng mga kasinungalingan sa korte..
Buti pa ang mcdo my hotel na…kelan kaya ang sa jollibee?
Checkmate Delima At Trillanes!!! kuha pa kayo ibang witness! at eto lng sasabihin nmin sa inyo! EDI WOW!!
Di ko nga maintindhan c De Lima kc kung totoo c Matobato, sana noon pa nya ito inilabas para naging guide ng tao sa eleksiyon at para c Pres. Duterte nman nkapagdepensa sa sarili nya. But y only now? S it bcoz thy ddnt expct Pres. Duterte to win d election & thy nid to derail d Presidency just like wat thy did to Pres. Erap. Unfortunately its very obvious that De Lima’s witness s a liar, a fake. Ginagawa ba ito ni De Lima pra pangtabla ky Pres. Duterte? Something s rotten wth ths people
Taga Davao po ako, at walang taga Davao na traidor sa kpwa namin kababayan..itong nakuhang witnessni Delimaw at Trililing, nagpabayad lang yan, tumanggap lang ng pera….PERO NEVER NYANG IHUHULOG SI PANGULONG DUTERTE, BLOOD STILL STRIKES IN THE VEIN…..kinuha nya lang yung perang binayad sa kanya….dahil makikita naman ang katotohanan sa mga sagot nyang mali mali..kaya , nag iimbento ng sagot para sampal din sa mga taong nagbayad sa kanya….kusa syang nagprisinta para tuluyang iligwak sina delimaw at trililing…sampal sa kanila ang witness na binayaran nila at kinuwartahan lang sila pero never na maging traidor sa Pangulo..yan po ang obserbasyon ko…
A “falling” person will cling to a sword to prevent or rather stall inevitable death… Desperate times require desperate actions. This won’t be the last time Filipinos will witness De Lima & Trillanes show “acts of desperation” for the “day of reckoning” is within the horizon.
Read Sun Star news on “Sources confirm Matobato from Tagbaobo village, Samal”.
The person Matobato mentioned is Sali Makdul, allegedly kidnapped just as he was to pay for a land Sali purchased in Samal. Sali is from the same place. So who took his money intended for land payment?
Bakit po hinahayaan pa ninyong maging head ng committee si de lima? For delekadesa sake dapat magresign sya or the senate remove her in that position. Halatang bias siya..she herself is underfire and questionable ang kanyang integrity of telling,the truth. Kitang kita naman sa kanyang mga,kilos at comments na ayaw niya sa ating mahal na presidente at kay “bato”. What is worse pag medyo may linaw ang mga sinasabi ni cayetano at iba pa delima cut them short. Yon lang po ang aking tanong. Pag po pinayagan siyang maglead sa comitte hearing …she can and may obstruct justice. D po ba? Maraming salamat po
Mahal ng ating Presidente ang mga muslim…infact President Duterte respects them and recognizes their plight. So how can our President lead the “said” attack sa ktemplo ng mga muslim? Labo naman yata yan.
