Diamond star Maricel Soriano testified before the Senate on the ongoing investigation of the Senate panel on public order and dangerous drugs on Tuesday, May 7.
Soriano and President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. were linked to illegal drugs, according to a “leaked” confidential Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) report.
“Unang-una po hindi ko ho alam ‘yung tungkol sa mga dokumento. Nalaman ko na lang ‘yan nu’ng pinakita sa akin dahil hindi po ako nagbabasa ng mga ganyan. Wala po akong alam,” Soriano said.
Soriano said she was confused about why she was even invited to the hearing.
“Sa totoo lang po, hindi malinaw sa akin kung bakit ako naimbitahan sa hearing. Nagtataka lang po ako dahil lahat po ng tumestigo dito ay nagsabing hindi na-verify ang impormasyon ni Mr. Morales at walang imbestigasyon na naganap. Pasensya na po kung nalilito po talaga ako dito,” she added in her prepared statement.
In an unverified document circulating online dated March 11, 2012, it said that a group of showbiz and political personalities are frequently using illegal drugs” in a Makati condominium.
Soriano said the condominium unit was sold in 2012.
“Opo, hanggang 2012 po. Nabenta ko na ho ‘yun. Wala na ako dun,” Soriano said.
