(Eagle News) — Just do it.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV had this to say to President Rodrigo Duterte, who has vowed to subpoena the senator’s mother in connection with her alleged transactions with the Philippine Navy while her husband and son were in the service.
“Duterte is threatening to subpoena my mother. Just do it and let it be another humiliating episode for you like the fake offshore bank accounts you alleged against me,” Trillanes said.
In 2017, Duterte said Trillanes had offshore bank accounts.
Trillanes denied the allegations, saying it was the President’s family who was corrupt.
The Dutertes vehemently denied the allegations.
According to Trillanes, “mahirap dito kay Duterte hindi lang ako kaya, kaya ang Nanay kong may sakit ang pinagdidiskitahan.”
He said there was not “even a shred of evidence” that Duterte’s allegations against the senator’s mother, who has Parkinson’s disease, were true.
“Sige lang, do your worst while I count the days,” Trillanes added.
