Ex-Marine says he delivered suitcases of ‘basura’ to Co, Romualdez

A surprise witness — a former member of the Philippine Marines - who claimed to have worked as security consultant to Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, testified yesterday before the Senate Blue Ribbon committee about personally delivering “basura” or suitcases containing millions of pesos to the residences of the congressman and of then House speaker Martin Romualdez.

- 

Guteza claimed he personally delivered 46 Rimowa luggage each containing P48 million to the posh residences of Co and Romualdez.

It was Sen. Rodante Mar-coleta who introduced Master Sergeant Orly Regala Guteza as a witness, and even appeared to coach him into sticking to his prepared sworn affidavit.
