That “must have triggered” the senator’s “obsession” with the President, she says
(Eagle News) — Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio on Monday said she was starting to believe “rumors” Senator Antonio Trillanes IV was “hooked on something” that triggered his “obsession” with her father, President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte-Carpio made the statement after Trillanes filed a resolution calling for a Senate probe into what he said was the President’s and the Davao vice mayor’s ill-gotten wealth.
This was an allegation the former Navy man already made before the 2016 elections, and which the Dutertes have already repeatedly denied.
“I am starting to believe the rumors that Trillanes is hooked on something that must have disrupted his sanity, destroyed his dreams…,” the Davao vice mayor added.
According to Duterte-Carpio, Trillanes “has the penchant for parading his star witnesses in the Senate and yet cannot even produce Joseph De Mesa, who, according to his affidavit, was his source of information” on the supposed ill-gotten wealth.
She noted Trillanes’ admission that the Anti-Money Laundering Council was the source of his documents, even as he “twits” the President “for not executing a waiver for AMLC.”
“So how come he has a copy of a purported AMLC document without the waiver?…I have said this before and I am saying it again – Trillanes is lying,” Duterte-Carpio said.
“I feel sad for Trillanes and his tireless attempt to rehash and recycle an issue that has already been proven as gossip. The senator cannot file a case because there is no basis for it,” the Davao mayor said.
