(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday denied he was behind Janet Lim Napoles’ “exposé” she gave a P5-million campaign donation to Senator Franklin Drilon in 2010.
“Senator Drilon, if I talked to somebody urging a case against you sa PDAF, bring that person in my presence and I will resign because you are my friend,” he said in his speech before departing for India at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2.
According to Duterte, it was not in his “system” to run after the opposition.
He said he doesn’t “even care” about the cases filed against several officials from the previous administration–including former President Benigno Aquino III– in connection with the Mamasapano incident in 2011.
“I told you before in front of so many congressmen. Wala akong ginagawa against you,” he said.
Drilon has denied the allegations, branding them as “fake news.”
