Vice Presidential candidate Senator Antonio Trillanes IV vowed to go after presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte after the elections; even if the mayor becomes the president.
Trillanes earlier accused the feisty mayor of owning several undeclared assets and billions of pesos worth of transactions in his bank accounts. He claimed Mayor Duterte and his daughter Sara amassed P2.4 billion between 2006 and 2015 in 17 different bank accounts.
The senator challenged the mayor to disprove his accusations. He said he will resign as a senator if Duterte is able to prove him wrong.
“Maganda ang aking pakiramdam, regardless kung ano ang resulta ng election, patuloy ang ating pagsisilbi (I feel good. I will continue to serve regardless of the results of the election),” Trillanes said after casting his vote at the Holy Infant Montessori Center at around 9 a.m. on May 9.
He said he will go after Mayor Duterte whatever the outcome of the elections.
“Regardless of the results of the elections, magkikita kami at hahabulin ko talaga siya. I will deal with him after the election, hindi ko siya uurungan,” Trillanes was quoted by Inquirer as saying.
[Regardless of the results of the elections, we’ll see each other again as I will continue to go after him. I will deal with him after the election, I will not back down]
“Even if the elections do not go my way, I will still be a senator of the Republic and would use my position to continue exposing Duterte’s hidden wealth as well as any other illegal activities he may have committed,” he added.
Should Duterte win the presidency, Trillanes said he will spearhead impeachment moves against him.
