George  Calvelo, ABS-CBN News/file</div>MANILA — Atty. Manases Carpio, husband of Vice President Sara Duterte, on Monday called allegations raised in an ongoing investigation of the House of Representatives as &quot;baseless and maliciously false.&quot;&quot;It is evident that the allegations and insinuations made by Mr. Guban during the Quad Com hearing last Friday, August 16, 2024 are entirely baseless and maliciously false. The public and the esteemed members of the House of Representatives are, I trust, perceptive enough to recognize that Mr. Guban&#x27;s claims, implicating Congressman Pulong and myself, are unmistakably politically motivated., Carpio said.Carpio said he is separate from anything political or government related.&quot;As a private citizen and a practicing lawyer, my sole concern is the welfare of my family and the diligent protection of my clients&#x27; rights and interests. It has always been my personal policy and guiding principle to remain entirely separate from politics or any government-related matters,&quot; he said.&quot;I have full confidence that the members of the Quad Com possess the discernment to distinguish between fact and fiction in Mr. Guban&#x27;s narrative. Indeed, Mr. Guban himself unequivocally admitted before the Quad Com that he had fabricated statements in the affidavits he submitted during the Senate inquiry and court proceedings,” he added.Former Customs Intelligence officer Jimmy Guban appeared before Friday’s joint hearing of four House committees looking into crimes linked to POGOs and dangerous drugs, where he linked Carpio, Rep. Duterte, Michael Yang and others to the 2018 shipment of magnetic lifters containing P6 billion worth of shabu in the Manila port.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/8/16/paolo-duterte-mans-carpio-michael-yang-linked-to-p6-b-drugs-shipment-case-1848">Paolo Duterte, Mans Carpio, Michael Yang linked to P6-B drugs case</a></div>
