Ang Totoong Narco-list (found YouTube videos of illegal drug trade allegations; 2019)

Totoong Narco-list (transl. "True Narco-list") was a series of video uploaded on April 2019, which accused Paolo Duterte, son of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, for receiving money from a crime syndicate, and using the brother of his brother-in-law as a dummy for the transactions. The video features a hooded-figure identified himself as "Bikoy" against the dark background making the statements. All of the videos had been deleted since but not before the media and Facebook pages manage to record some of the snippet of the video.

Background

In this video, it shows a hooded-figure named "Bikoy", who claimed to be formerly worked at the drug syndicate operating in Southern Luzon and Visayas. He claimed that he was involved in recording transactions how much money is allotted monthly in every leader in the syndicate. He left the syndicate and tried to begin a new life but the syndicate continued to track him and began to received death threats.

Summary

In a video uploaded on social media, a hooded-figure named "Bikoy" showed a document called "TARA RECORD", supposedly to be an internal document that records the amount of funds allocated monthly for each so-called the "principal" of the illegal drug syndicate. Bikoy claimed to be aware of the transactions from 2010 to 2018. Bikoy cited former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, President Rodrigo Duterte's son, as a big time drug operator and the main principal because he allegedly receives the largest share in such a syndicate. The code name "POLODELTA" stated in the TARA record is said to refer to Paolo Duterte. In addition, Agriculture Undersecretary Waldo Reyes Carpio (brother of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte's wife, Manases Carpio) was also involved in the syndicate and allegedly used the accounts as Paolo's dummy accounts. Paolo denied the allegations, stated that the content of the said video is just an invention and is said to be an imitation of Senator Antonio Trillanes. This is not the first time that Paolo has been implicated in the illegal drug trade. According to presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo, the said video is just "black propaganda".
