Itinanggi ni National Security Adviser (NSA) Gen. Eduardo Año ang umano’y pagtanggap niya “paper bag” na naglalaman ng pera mula sa isiniwalat na affidavit ng nagpakilalang mga 18 na dating miyembro ng Philippine Marines. 

Ayon sa ipinadalang pahayag ni Año sa media nitong Huwebes, Pebrero 26, 2026, mariin niyang pinabulaanan ang nasabing pagtanggap niya ng pera mula sa isinawalat ng 18 ex-marines at sinabi niyang “malicious” o malisyoso daw ang akusasyon laban sa kaniya. 

“I categorically reject and denounce the malicious, unsigned affidavit purportedly from eighteen ex-Marines accusing me of receiving a paper bag after a meeting at the Polo Club townhouse,” pagsisimula niya.

Ayon pa kay Año, hindi raw siya kailanman nakipagpulong kina dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez, dating Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Zaldy Co, at Mamamayang Liberal (ML) Partylist Rep. Leila de Lima sa Polo Club townhouse at iba pang mga lokasyon noon.

“To set the record straight, I have never attended any meeting with former Speaker Martin Romualdez, former Cong Zaldy Co and Cong Leila De Lima in the Polo Club townhouse or any other location in nor did I receive any paper bag or package from them,” aniya. 

Pagpapatuloy ni Año, hindi raw niya hahayaang mabahiran ang kaniyang reputasyon ng mga hindi totoo at “fabricated” o gawa-gawa lamang na akusasyon. 

“These claims are entirely false and fabricated; I will not tolerate attempts to smear my reputation,” saad niya. 

Pagdidiin niya, “My legal team is prepared to take all necessary actions, and we will have our own investigation to determine whether this malicious stunt-given its timing amid the ICC hearings, the EDSA anniversary, and the planned ‘One Time Big Time’ mass action-is seemingly part of a broader effort to undermine or destabilize government institutions.” 

Nanawagan naman sa publiko si Año na huwag daw agad magpadala sa hindi totoong mga impormasyon. 

“I urge the public to be discerning and not be swayed by misinformation. Rest assured, the government will continue to address legitimate concerns through proper channels and uphold the rule of law at all times,” pagtatapos pa niya. 

Samantala, habang sinusulat ito, wala pa namang inilalabas na pahayag, tugon, o reaksyon ang kampo ng 18 ex-marines kaugnay rito.
