Crimes
On August 1, 2019, Senator Bong Go announced in Camp Crame, along with Philippine National Police Chief Oscar Albayalde, Representative Arnulfo Fuentebella, and Presidential Anti-Corruption Commissioner Greco Belgica that two men attempted to extort money from Go acting as Rep. Fuentebella. Go announced that the two men were Borbon and his accomplice, Edgar Bularan, who extorted other politicians using the messaging app Viber. According to Go, when the men messaged him, he got suspicious and went on to check if he was the "real Fuentebella". So Go messaged Fuentebella, with the latter stating that the message was fake. He further checked with his team, who further confirmed Fuentebella's response. He then messaged the perpetrators to "withdraw his money and use it to buy his coffin." Go then found out that they were tapped by opposition to smear him in the 2019 Philippine general election. In conclusion, Go told the public to not fall for these types of scams.
In October 2021, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested a criminal for posing as a representative of a priest to harvest donations from senators, gaining P300,000 ($5,170) from Senator Tito Sotto. After an investigation, Borbon was found as the mastermind of the case. As a result, Borbon was charged with estafa.
