LUCENA CITY — Exiled communist rebel leader Jose Maria “Joma” Sison said Peter Joemel Advincula, who claims to be “Bikoy,” should be given protection to fully disclose his story.
“It is fine if Bikoy is given the full opportunity to present his sworn statement and give more details in all possible safe avenues,” Sison, Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder said in a solicited reaction from his base in Utrecht in the Netherlands.
“He (Advincula) appears to know a lot and deserves a hearing in all possible avenues.”
“The public is well aware that Duterte is some kind of Mafia godfather running a Mafia-type government or more precisely a government enmeshed with Chinese triads in the illegal drug trade,” Sison added.
Bikoy is the hooded narrator in the series of “Ang Totoong Narcolist” videos that tagged close relatives and allies of President Rodrigo Duterte as being involved in the illegal drugs trade.
On Monday, Advincula surfaced at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines office in Pasig City and said he is Bikoy of the controversial narco-videos.

He said he went to IBP to seek legal assistance as he wants to submit an affidavit and file a case against personalities he linked to a drug syndicate in the “Ang Totoo Narcolist” videos. /kga
