Chair, may I move that Mr. Guban be cited in contempt in so far as these two committees are concerned for not telling the truth,” said Antipolo City 2nd District Rep. Romeo Acop. Last September 11, the Senate blue ribbon committee cited Guban in contempt. Prior to this, lawmakers have grilled Guban for giving inconsistent statements and for refusing to answer some questions. At first, he said it was part of his “intelligence work” but later on he admitted this was a “personal business,” adding that he received “P10,000-P15,000 commission” for the job. “It is not allowed, it is in the Customs regulations… and they can be criminally liable,” he said.
