The arrest of an alleged con man has uncovered a bigger smear campaign in the May midterm elections that, Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go said, he was inclined to pursue because it made him strip twice in public. ADVERTISEMENTArrested with him in the entrapment operation conducted by the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) was Edgar Paulo James Bularan, 30. Borbon had claimed that he was approached by Aquino’s chief of staff Ares Goyena. Borbon also claimed to have transacted with then Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano and Peter Joemel Advincula, aka “Bikoy,” who was behind the “The Real Narcolist” videos. Fuentebella and other victims of Borbon’s extortion activities will also file charges against the blogger for identity theft and estafa, Go added.
