Trillanes, muling binanatan si Pangulong Duterte: “Subukan mo, baka ikaw yung unahin ko.”

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV once again hit back President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent warning to Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang.

In a news briefing on Monday afternoon, Trillanes said, “’Yung banta niya kay Overall Deputy Ombudsman Carandang na uunahin niya, ‘Subukan mo, baka ikaw yung unahin ko’.”



During one of the President’s speech in Davao City over the weekend, Duterte lambasted Carandang who is leading the investigation on his family’s alleged multi-million peso wealth.

“Imagine this Carandang, magdasal ka lang Carandang. I’m not threatening you. ‘Pag ka nagka-leche leche ang Pilipinas, uunahin kita,” Duterte said.





President Duterte also said that he is planning to create an investigating body to probe on the alleged corruption in the Office of the Ombudsman.

In response, Trillanes told the President to simply sign the waiver putting aside his bank secrecy rights to prove that he is not corrupt, “The only way na maipakita mo na inosenta ka, pabuksan mo bank records mo,” he said.



The Senator once again vows to resign as a Senator if his accusations was proven wrong, “Madali i-disprove, Mr. Duterte, harapin mo na accusations sa iyo. Magpaka-lalaki ka, pirmahan mo yung waiver, tapos ito, kung lumabas iba yung mga alegasyon, eh di talagang masisira yung Ombudsman, ako magwo-walk-in sa kulungan at magre-resign ako sa Senado. Ang dali eh,” Trillanes added.
