Together with his wife and cousin, they turned themselves to local authorities in their hometown to clarify the allegations on social media that he is a notorious drug pusher.
According to Siaboc, he is not selling drugs but admitted his addiction.He narrated that because of the nature of his job as a band singer travelling from one place to another, he was exposed to illegal drugs.
In a tactical interrogation, Jay-R told the police that he got his supply from his friends in Barangay Awihao whom he did not name.
Siaboc’s wife in a facebook post, denied the allegation that he is using illegal drugs.She stressed that they went to the police station “to clear up his name, not to surrender.”
“We are not involve in any illegal transaction. We live in a descent way and we are raised well by our parents,”
We would be much happier if the authority will conduct an investigation. You are so welcome. Our life is an open book,” she said.
