MANILA -- Former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte on Monday dared a man who linked him to the narcotics trade in a series of viral videos to lodge cases after the latter surfaced before the media. YouTube clips titled &quot;Totoong Narco-list&quot; claimed drug money was funneled into the bank accounts of President Rodrigo Duterte&#x27;s son Paolo, son-in-law Atty. Manases Carpio, and former aide Christopher Go. In a press conference at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), a certain Peter Joemel Advincula on Monday introduced himself as &quot;Bikoy&quot;, a hooded figure in the videos who claimed that he kept financial records for the drug ring that allegedly had ties with the Duterte family. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/06/19/bikoy-surfaces-seeks-legal-assistance">&#x27;Bikoy&#x27; seeks legal aid, denies links to Otso Diretso </a></li></ul>&quot;Mula sa pagiging kilalang scammer, ngayon ay certified na na artista itong taong nagpakilalang Bikoy,&quot; Paolo said in a Facebook post. (From being a known scammer, this man claiming to be Bikot is now a certified actor.) &quot;Ganito. Puro satsat. Panay drama. Magsampa ka ng kaso. Sasagutin kita. Haharapin kita. Isama mo rin si [Sen. Antonio] Trillanes,&quot; he added. (He&#x27;s all talk and drama. File a case. I&#x27;ll answer you. I&#x27;ll face you.) Advincula said he was sued for estafa in 2012 and given a 6-year jail sentence in connection with documents he signed with his previous work. However, he was freed in 2016 for good behavior and found a new job. Paolo earlier claimed that Trillanes, who previously accused the President&#x27;s family of corruption, was behind the Totoong Narco-list videos, which the lawmaker <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/05/19/trillanes-challenges-paolo-duterte-to-show-tattoo-ang-dami-mo-pang-arte">denied</a>. The President&#x27;s son also slammed the IBP for supposedly believing Advincula&#x27;s claims. &quot;Mga abogado kayo, matatalino sana kayo, pero, nakapagtataka lang na ang bilis ninyong paniwalaan ang sinasabi ng isang kilalang scammer na nagpakilalang si Bikoy,&quot; he said.(You&#x27;re lawyers, you are supposed to be intelligent, but it&#x27;s puzzling that you immediately believed the allegations of a known scammer who introduced himself as Bikoy.) The IBP earlier said that Advincula still <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/05/07/19/bikoy-needs-vetting-before-legal-aid-ibp">needs to undergo vetting</a> before he is given free legal assistance.
