Sara Duterte declines to comment on 2018 shabu importation case

Vice President Sara Duterte declined to comment on the 2018 shabu importation case allegedly involving her husband Mans Carpio, brother Paolo 'Pulong' Duterte, and businessman Michael Yang during an interview in Davao City on Saturday.

Duterte said only Carpio could answer allegations against him, while she characterized Guban's claims as political harassment.

Jimmy Guban, a former customs intelligence officer, testified before a congressional committee that Rep. Duterte, Carpio, and businessman Michael Yang were involved in the billion-peso shipment of shabu in 2018.

Guban claimed he was warned not to implicate the three individuals by an emissary sent by former environment undersecretary Benny Antiporda.

Rep. Duterte denied knowing Guban and stressed that there were no transactions between them, while Carpio remains the only one who can answer allegations against him.
