\u201cYou, you want to know my bank accounts? I\u2019ll give it to you, right now.You, anytime, I will give you the authority.

MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The bank accounts of President Rodrigo R. Duterte are open to the public except to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalinaw na paulit-ulit na sinasabi ni Presidente, wala siyang tinatago. Ang ayaw lang niya, buksan ni Trillanes<\/em>\u00a0(The President has repeatedly said that he\u2019s not hiding anything. What he doesn\u2019t want is for Senator Trillanes to open them),\u201d Roque said in a briefing in Palawan.<\/p>\n

He made the remark after Duterte said Tuesday that he would allow the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) to investigate his bank accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou, you want to know my bank accounts? I\u2019ll give it to you, right now. Kayo, anytime, I will give you the authority. Honestly, wala kayong makuha<\/em>\u00a0(You, anytime, I will give you the authority. Honestly, you won\u2019t get anything),\u201d Duterte told the PACC members during their oath-taking in Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n

\u201cPero ikaw kalaban ko sa politika<\/em>\u00a0(But if you\u2019re a political enemy)? Do not, if you want evidence, do not get it from my mouth or make me do the effort,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Roque earlier said the Ombudsman has the power to open Duterte\u2019s bank accounts even without the permission of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).<\/p>\n

Trillanes, who filed a complaint over Duterte\u2019s alleged ill-gotten wealth, earlier claimed that the Ombudsman junked the investigation because the ALMC refused to cooperate.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo kung gugustuhin po, nagawa na rin po siguro, nakita na po siguro yan ng Ombudsman kung ano ang bank accounts ni Presidente Duterte<\/em>\u00a0(So if the Ombudsman wanted, or the Ombudsman could have probably checked President Duterte\u2019s bank accounts already),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated Feb. 12, Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang confirmed that the probe into Duterte\u2019s alleged ill-gotten was already terminated on Nov. 29, 2017.<\/p>\n

Roque earlier said that the Palace was “disappointed” by how the Ombudsman did not immediately disclose that it had junked the probe on Duterte\u2019s alleged ill-gotten wealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedyo masama ang loob ng Palasyo<\/em>\u00a0(The Palace is quite disappointed).\u00a0Na-terminate na pala ang imbestigasyon<\/em>\u00a0(The investigation was already terminated) because of lack of evidence bakit di inanunsyo (why wasn\u2019t it announced)?\u201d Roque said.
