Lacson raised this question Thursday as he called out the false claim that former T\/Sgt. Orly Guteza is under the custody of the Philippine Marines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lacson said a verification with Philippine Marines commandant Maj. Gen. Vincent Blanco III showed Guteza was never under the Marines&#8217; custody, contrary to the claim of ex-Rep. Michael Defensor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;As per verification made with the Marine Commandant, MGen Vince Blanco (PMA Cl &#8217;91), through fellow cavaliers, Guteza is not and has never been under their custody. How much more fakery can we take?&#8221; Lacson said in a post on X.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>On Wednesday, Defensor told a television interview that Guteza is under Marines custody. Guteza was presented to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee during its Sept. 25 hearing as a &#8220;witness&#8221; by Sen. Rodante Marcoleta. Marcoleta said Defensor referred Guteza to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Earlier this week, Lacson said the Executive Judge of the Manila Regional Trial Court found that the signature in Guteza&#8217;s notarized affidavit inconsistent with that of lawyer Petchie Espera. The Executive Judge recommended that Guteza and those responsible for presenting his affidavit undergo preliminary investigation for falsification.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, Lacson said a review of Senate CCTV footage showed Guteza arrived at the Senate at 8:27 a.m. of Sept. 25 and stayed at the office of Marcoleta for some 30 minutes before going down to the gallery of the session hall where the hearing was being held.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Guteza had claimed that he delivered suitcases of cash to the homes of ex-Rep. Elizaldy Co and former Speaker Martin Romualdez. Romualdez denied the allegation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lacson noted that while Guteza&#8217;s statement before the Blue Ribbon Committee remains valid, the development may affect his credibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much more fakery can we take?
