Dismissed policeman Rodulfo Gracioso Jr. has identified alleged sources of bags of cash he was ordered to deliver, according to a report by GMA News. In his affidavit, Gracioso stated that former Speaker Lord Allan Velasco instructed him to deliver money to several politicians, including former Ako Bicol party-list Representative Zaldy Co, contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya, and Marikina Representative Miro Quimbo. These individuals are all charged in connection with flood control project scandal cases. Gracioso claimed that some of the cash he delivered came from Co and Quimbo in 2020, and that he heard Quimbo mention that the money originated from Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) contractors, including the Discaya couple. He also alleged that he saw Quimbo with the late DPWH Undersecretary Catalina Cabral and former DPWH district engineer Henry Alcantara. Gracioso further stated that in 2021, he and a 'General Pipino' had an Eastern Visayas project approved by the DPWH and the budget department, with Velasco stating that the standard operating procedure (SOP) rate was 25% of the project cost, paid in advance. The Vice President, Sara Duterte, has denied knowing Gracioso and having received money from him. Velasco's camp also denied the allegations. GMA News is still seeking statements from Quimbo, Alcantara, and the Discayas. The report highlights the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption involving public officials and contractors in connection with infrastructure projects.

Jefry Tupas, former Davao City chief information officer and aide to Vice President Sara Duterte, has denied allegations made by dismissed policeman Rodulfo Gracioso Jr. that he received cash on behalf of the VP. In an affidavit submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Tupas stated that Gracioso's claims are false and that he was not referred to as 'Jepoy' or 'Jepoi' by Duterte, but rather incorrectly identified as 'Tupaz' instead of 'Tupas.' Tupas clarified that he was not in the Philippines during the alleged cash delivery dates, providing alibis for key dates. On April 18-21, 2019, he was in Korea, and on September 19-21, 2019, he was in Japan. He also denied delivering cash during the 2020 pandemic lockdown in Davao, stating that the city was under strict lockdown at that time. Tupas emphasized that he never received any suitcase of money, gift, or vehicle for Sara Duterte, calling the allegations fabricated and untrue. He further stated that if the allegations were not serious, the stories would be laughable, as they aim to tarnish Duterte's reputation. The NBI issued a subpoena for Tupas, but his legal counsel, Caesar Europa, noted that Tupas could not comply due to the short notice and expected the NBI to offer protective custody due to threats of abduction. Tupas also denied knowing Gracioso and having visited Velasco's residence in Valle Verde. The case relates to claims made by Gracioso that he delivered cash to Duterte, former President Rodrigo Duterte, and Davao City Representative Paolo Duterte, following instructions from former Speaker Lord Allan Velasco.
