Fil-Am businesswoman accused of funding destab plots vs Duterte also declared as such by city council
(Eagle News)– Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and Fil-Am businesswoman Loida Nicolas-Lewis have been declared as “personae non gratae” in Davao City.
The declaration made by the city council came after Trillanes said Davao was the most dangerous city in the country, with the highest incidence of murder, and the second highest incidence of rape, in a press conference in Chicago, in the United States.
Nicolas-Lewis has been accused of funding destabilization plots against President Rodrigo Duterte.
“Mr. Trillanes, you will not succeed in destroying our city. You will not succeed in destroying the Dabawenyos. You will not succeed in destroying our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte,” Vice Mayor Bernard Al-ag said.
He said Trillanes has never done anything good for the city.
In a statement, Trillanes, however, stood by his pronouncements.
He said these were based on December 2015 statistics of the Philippine National Police.
“The truth definitely hurts…The people of Davao either know it or tolerate it out of fear or they’ve actually believed the lie that was fed to them that Davao City is the safest city in the world,” he said. With a report from Jerold Tagbo, Eagle News Service
