Madriaga claims Rodrigo Duterte planned scenarios to unseat Marcos by 2025 or sabotage his presidency. He alleges that extraordinary measures were also considered, such as assassination of the President, or armed assault of Malacanang.
Lin Weixiong of Pharmally has just been mentioned as giving funds to a Duterte ops via Madriaga. Who is Win Leixiong? A Chinese national who worked very closely with Michael Yang, and who, after evading Pharmally charges in the Philippines, did business with a Taiwanese brothers tandem entangled in a scam-and-drugs crime web. Read our stories here. Part 1: https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/investigative/pharmally-lin-weixiong-links-lixin-hsu-brothers-cambodia/ / Part 2: https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/investigative/hsu-ming-chin-taiwan-lixin-pharmally-lin-weixiong/
Madriaga claims he helped establish ISIP for the 2022 elections, which internally meant "Inday Sara is my President." He says that Duterte told him one of the funders is Lin Wei Xiong of Pharmally.
Maestrado Lim may be referring to Tony Yang, the older brother of Michael Yang. Tony Yang used the Filipino name Antonio Maestrado Lim. https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/who-is-michael-yang-brother-tony-shady-chinese-network-philippines/
Madriaga said Lin Wei Xiong was present when P175M was turned over to him.
Madriaga is now in tears. This, as he recalls his loyalty towards Sara Duterte. He recalls his frustration when Sara decided to run for VP instead of president in 2022.
Madriaga claims that after Sara Duterte became VP, he was tasked to proide intel work for the VP Security and Protection Group (VPSPG). That's when he worked with colonels Raymund Dante Lachica and Dennis Nolasco to handle the transport of large amounts of money to several individuals, upon the instruction of VP Sara, from July 2022 to April 2023.
The deliveries include the Office of the Ombudsman.
The funds were contained in small to large bags, containing around P30 million to P35 million – in one-thousand denominations
JUST IN: VP Sara Duterte's alleged bagman Ramil Madriaga disputes findings that the P125 million in confidential funds of the OVP in 2022 was exhausted within 11 days. "This is wrong, because I personally disposed the money in less than 24 hours."
Where were the four bags delivered?
First bag - Cabuyao Laguna, intended for a politician
Second bag - Nommu Basho in Tomas Morato, QC; received by an individual following a signal from Reynold Munayac
Third and fourth bags - delivered to the Ombudsman parking lot

Subject: Concern Regarding Implementation of Teacher Reclassification and Promotion We would like to respectfully raise a concern regarding the implementation of the new reclassification scheme for the promotion of public school teachers in the Zamboanga City Division. Despite the memorandum stating that priority should be given to senior teachers who are nearing retirement, this guideline does not appear to have been properly followed. In the first batch of promotions, the majority of those selected were relatively young teachers in the service. Furthermore, our division seems to be among the slowest in implementing this program. In other divisions, thousands of teachers have already benefited from the promotion scheme. However, in our division, only 41 teachers were promoted and took their oath just this month. It has also been observed that the promotion process in our division has long been delayed. In previous years, there were concerns that budget allocations were not immediately utilized, resulting in teachers having to wait a long time before receiving their promotions. For instance, last year, the submission of documents for promotion started in October. However, the first batch was only announced at the end of January 2026, and as of April, only 41 teachers have been promoted. In light of these concerns, we respectfully request that this matter be investigated, as many teachers feel that they are being unfairly treated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Topic: Unseen but well lubricated machinery of Real Property Grabbing by municipal level utilizing a network of government agencies to coerce and oust unsuspecting private companies . Involvement is entrenched in the entire municipality led by no other than the Mayor!
