Asked during the interpellation about the former sexy star, Sy said Roces was only his “friend.”

“Kung girlfriend sandali lang punta dun, kaibigan lang. Walang pag-ibig,” Sy said in broken Filipino.

Sy said Roces brought friends with her at least twice during her visits.

“Dalawang beses lang nagdala ng babae,” Sy said.

In a Facebook post, Roces belied the allegation she was Sy’s mistress.

Roces however admitted that she brought women inside Bilibid. “Paanong magiging mistress eh babae ang dinadala ko ke Enteng. Kada hatid ko ng babae ay P25,000 ang binibigay sa akin. Kahit na reject pa ang babaeng dalhin ko. Kung naging mistress ako di sana nabayaran ko ang P2 million na talo ko sa kaso sa GMA,” Roces said on her Facebook account under her real name Jennifer Cruz Adriano. “Hindi droga ang business ko sa bilibid. Monterey….taga deliver ng karne. Isang tao lang ang kausap ko dun. Yung sinasabi nilang si Vicente Sy. Madaling magtahi ng kwento pero mahirap ang magpatunay,” she added. Sy earlier admitted giving millions of bribes to officials for him to get preferential treatment inside the Bilibid.   READ: Drug lord Sy admits bribing officials for preferential treatment During the hearing, Senator Leila De Lima was implicated by several inmates as receiving millions of drug kickbacks from Co, convicted robber Herbert Colanggo, and convicted kidnapper Jaybee Sebastian for her senatorial campaign bid when she was justice secretary.

Inmates alleged that De Lima’s former driver Ronnie Dayan collected proceeds from the drug trade for De Lima.

De Lima’s alleged favored drug lord Sebastian admitted raising P10 million campaign funds for De Lima from the sale of shabu. But Sebastian said it was De Lima’s former security aide Jonel Sanchez, not Dayan, who was De Lima’s bagman.
