Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Wednesday condemned the Senate blue ribbon committee proposal to have a lifestyle check on President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s son and son-in-law on their involvement in the P6.4 billion-worth of shabu shipment from China, calling it a ‘clear case of cover-up’
Senate blue ribbon committee Chairman Richard Gordon, in a draft report on Tuesday, recommended the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a lifestyle check on Davao City Mayor Paolo Duterte and Manases Carpio – both tagged by Trillanes as the ones alleged to be behind the facilitation of drug shipments and payments or the so-called ‘Davao Group.’
“Suspected drug pushers and users are wantonly killed in the streets while the people behind the illegal drug smuggling are merely subjected to a lifestyle check. This is a clear case of cover-up by Senator Gordon to please his political master,” Trillanes said in a statement on Wednesday.
Trillanes stressed that if Gordon was really ‘serious’ in solving this case, then the hearing should not be terminated and the President’s relatives should not be cleared yet until Nanie Cabato-Coronacion or “Tita Nanie” is located. The Senator said that Gordon was doing this cover-up as service to ‘please his political master.’
Tita Nanie is the alleged Davao Group contact of Bureau of Customs (BOC) fixer Mark Ruben Taguba.
According to Senator Tito Sotto, the report is still a draft and that senators can still recommend amendments before being adopted.
“Kung mayroong hinahanap pa ang ibang miyembro namin at ibang bumabasa ng committee report, ‘wag sila mag-alala, pag-uusapan pa sa plenary ‘yan. Ang mga committee report sa Senate… kailangan i-report out, i-defend, and i-approve (If other members are looking for more, do not worry for we will still discuss it in the plenary. Committee reports in the Senate need to be reported, defended, approved), then it becomes a Senate report,” Sotto told reporters.
On September 7, during the Senate hearing on the P6.4 billion worth of shabu that slipped BOC, the younger Duterte and Carpio both denied any involvement with the Davao Group.
In September, Trillanes accused Gordon of protecting the President and calling his committee as ‘comite de absuelto’ or a body absolving the accused of wrongdoing – which the blue ribbon committee Chair countered with an ethics complaint.

Ay nako Hindi talaga kailanman mapagakatiwalaan yang si ANtonio Trillanes! Trillanes Lacks Credibility
If Trillanes wants people to believe him, he should provide real evidence. Until Trillanes can show real proof that his information is true and is sourced from unimpeachable records, he is just spinning an old wives’ tale.
He can spew lies and tall tales and get away with it because he hides behind the protection of congressional immunity in his “privilege speeches.”

o Ito ang katotohanan, Trillanes lacks credibility! The official AMLC statement is clear: “We have categorically stated before that the Anti-Money Laundering Council is not the source of the documents and information attached by Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV in his complaint regarding the alleged bank accounts of President Rodrigo Duterte.”
Deputy Ombudsman Arthur Carandang also admitted his irresponsibility, openly admitting that his source was not the AMLC or the banks, but the so-called ‘expose’ of Trillanes.
So, what is Trillanes’ credible source?

Ay Bayaran yang si Trillanes kaya hidni yan mapagkakatiwalaan.
Former Philippine Navy Officer Rex Robles on his Facebook page called Senator Antonio Trillanes IV a “highly-paid mercenary”.
Robles said that the viciousness of Trillanes’ attacks depended on the level of payment that he receives. Robles did not disclose the source of said payment.
He said that unlike Trillanes’ honest and likeable father whoonce served the military, he does not have an honest bone in his body, and that he was condemned and treated as a joke by his peers. http://www.ptvbalita. com/retired-navy-captain-calls-trillanes-dishonest-highly-paid-mercenary-comm/
