President Duterte has now aimed his guns at Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. The allegations against him are quite serious and coming from the President, the impact is alarming.
On Thursday, the accused Senator challenged President Duterte to file charges, if indeed the charges were true. The President charged Trillanes with collecting funds from top businessmen.
His retort against the President was much harsher. He called the President a pathological liar while defying him to file charges if his allegations had any truth.
Trillanes also offered the logic for the tirade that the President had launched against him. He stated that the President was lying since he wanted to save himself of the allegations against him.
However, the case that Trillanes had launched was based on facts, documents, witnesses and affidavits. Moreover, Trillanes filed the case in the legal way fulfilling all the formalities required under law.
Trillanes had accused Duterte of possessing bank deposits to the tune of P2.2 billion before becoming. He is reported to have conducted recruitments of ghost employees who existed only on paper.
President Duterte has refuted this allegation.
In addition, the Senator also directed his energies towards proving that President was the de-facto head of the Davao Death squad (DDS).
Furthermore, it appears that he and the President are engaged in a personal duel put down the other.
Even the son of President is aiding his son by claiming that Trillanes is making money through Lascanas.
Furthermore, he accused Trillanes of influencing Lascanas to retract from his earlier statement to get Duterte implicated.
Paulo Duterte is the son of President Duterte and the current Mayor of Davao City.
The claims of both Arturo Lascanas and Efren Matobato are shrouded in mystery and hence suspect to the Senators.
Moreover, the admission of Lascanas that he lied under oath is also confirming these doubts.
