The combination of election fever and testosterone leads to an explosive scenario…and it ain’t pretty. Mind you, this is just an undercard bout, not the main event.
“Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s recently accused Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of having a bank account that holds PHP211 million that the mayor allegedly did not declare in his statement of assets, liabilities and networth (SALN),” reports Maila Ager on Inquirer.net.
Trillanes’ allegations prompted Duterte’s running mate, Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano to call him a “Poetector.” This was Cayetano’s way of accusing Trillanes of protecting Senator Grace Poe, another presidentiable.
In a phone patch interview with Senate reporters, Trillanes slammed Cayetano saying, “Wala na ba s’yang maisip kung hindi kakornihan na lang (Can he not come up with things that are not corny)?”
Trillanes added, “Kung ako sa kanya, tumabi sya d’yan at baka s’ya ang isunod ko (If I were him, I would step aside or I would go after him next).”
When asked if he has an expose also against Cayetano, Trillanes said: “’Yun lang sa akin, tumatabi-tabi (sya), hindi s’ya ang focus ko rito (I am only saying that he should step aside because he is not the focus of my expose).” He went on to say, “I’m taking on (one) political monster at a time. Ngayon, nakatutok tayo kay Digong (Duterte’s nickname). Ngayon kung gusto n’yang bumalandra d’yan e… (Now, I am focused on Duterte. But if he wants to get in the way).”
