MANILA, Philippines — Former Master Sgt. Rodolfo Mayo, the police anti-drug operative who was caught with at least 990 kilograms of crystal meth, or shabu, in an October 2022 operation, said the charges against him were merely made-up. Mayo attended the House of Representatives Committee on Dangerous Drugs hearing on Wednesday virtually, but his answers have been few — opting several times to invoke his right against self-incrimination. Surigao del Norte 2nd District Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, the committee chair, said to him in a mix of Filipino and English: 'Sergeant Mayo, maybe you can answer this very simple question: What were the charges filed against you?' 'Moro-moro [a made-up case], Your Honor,' Mayo replied.
