House Committee on Public Accounts Chairperson and Bicol Saro Partylist Rep. Terry Ridon is hoping that Ramil Madriaga will reveal the identities of Mary Grace Piattos and other recipients of Vice President Sara Duterte's confidential funds.

Madriaga is the alleged former bagman of the Vice President and has accused VP Duterte of using money from drug dealers and POGOs for her 2022 election campaign.

Rep. Ridon emphasized that if Madriaga knows about the bogus names, it's time to disclose this information to bring clarity to the controversy, especially since Vice President Duterte is not addressing the issue.

Madriaga is reportedly ready to appear in any investigation if summoned by Congress, the Senate, or even the Office of the Ombudsman.

Madriaga's lawyer Atty. Raymund Palad said that his client knows he can be summoned to Congress, the Senate, or the Ombudsman since he executed an affidavit. He added that Madriaga is willing to appear as long as he receives a subpoena or is summoned.

"Alam niya the fact na nag-execute siya ng affidavit, puwede siyang ipatawag sa Kongreso, sa Senado o sa Ombudsman. So yung willingness niya, yes. Basta maka-receive siya ng subpoena o ipatawag, mag-a-appear po siya." 

(He knows the fact that he executed an affidavit, he can be summoned to Congress, the Senate or the Ombudsman. So his willingness, yes. As long as he receives a subpoena or is summoned, he will appear.)
