Duterte inventing Trillanes bank accounts part of a ‘game plan’, says Abella

Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said that President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent move of admitting that he deliberately invented the back account number in Singapore, which he claimed was owned by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, is part of the president’s game plan.

This admission of Duterte of faking the account number of Trillanes drew flak  but Abella defended it by saying that Duterte has his own style and logic.

Abella said, “As we very well know the President is quite unorthodox and out of the box when he deals.”

He urged the public to understand Duterte’s statements as a whole and to see the larger picture.

Abella believes that the president’s latest statements will not affect his credibility and that his actions are “economically viable”.

“His actions have so far have proven to be economically viable for the nation.

For example we have been quoted as top financially inclusive country in Asia,” Abella said.

“So other words, unorthodox as it may seem on the whole, apparently the impact of his actions tend to be economically viable,” he added.
