Opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Monday\u00a0lambasted Paolo Duterte by describing his reason for resigning as Vice Mayor of Davao City as \u201cpure BS (bullshit).”<\/p>\n

Trillanes accused the presidential son of \u201cpreempting the numerous investigations\u201d hurled against him after the younger Duterte announced his resignation, saying his principle of delicadeza<\/em> pushed him to step down from his post.<\/p>\n

The Senator said he doubts Duterte\u2019s delicadeza<\/em>\u00a0as he recalls the recent word war between Duterte and his daughter Isabelle\u00a0on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelicadeza<\/em>, seriously? Pinatulan nga nya ‘ung anak n’ya<\/em> publicly sa<\/em> Facebook, tapos<\/em> delicadeza<\/em>? [He even fought his daughter publicly on Facebook and now he’s going to say it’s delicadeza<\/em>?] Besides, he has already been cleared months ago by Gordon’s committee de abswelto <\/em>[of absolution<\/em>]. So, that’s pure BS (bullshit),\u201d Trillanes said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is probably just preempting the numerous investigations against him by the Ombudsman. Also, he most likely needs more time to focus on managing his multi-billion peso businesses,\u201d said Trillanes, who had earlier accused Duterte of drug smuggling.<\/p>\n

Resignation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Duterte\u2019s resignation, the vice mayor cited the accusations against him in the smuggling of P6.4-billion worth of shabu from China to the Philippines, his failed marriage with his first wife, and his recent heated exchange of words with his daughter Isabelle as reasons for his resignation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are recent unfortunate events in my life that are closely tied to my failed first marriage. These, among others, include the maligning of my reputation in the recent name dropping incident in the Bureau of Customs smuggling case and the very public squabble with my daughter. The other person in this failed relationship is incorrigible and cannot be controlled. And I take responsibility for all that has happened as a result of a wrong decision to marry at a very young age,\u201d Duterte earlier said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
