Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, the House of Representatives' overall chairman of the Quad Committee, says he and his fellow lawmakers will weigh the testimony of Jimmy Guban, a former Customs intelligence official, who claimed that Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte, second gentleman Manases Carpio, and former Duterte adviser Michael Yang owned the seized multibillion-peso shabu shipment in 2018. The concurrent chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Committee spoke to media at the end of the first day of the public hearing in Bacolor, Pampanga on Aug. 16, 2024. The Quad Committee is composed of four House committees conducting joint hearings on dangerous drugs and the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs) under the administration of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
