Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV holds a press conference in San Juan City on Friday (Oct. 2, 2026), revealing alleged financial transactions involving former president Rodrigo R. Duterte’s four children and Davao-based businessman Sammy Uy.
He also alleged that companies linked to Vice President Sara Z. Duterte received PHP319 million from China while Tapang at Malasakit Foundation, which he linked to the VP, received PHP150 million from the Chinese Embassy. He identified Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, wife of Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, as a member of the foundation’s board of trustees.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the revelations call for a probe, if there is sufficient evidence: Kung sapat ang ebidensya, hindi ito dapat isawalang bahala. Maituturing na pagtataksil sa bayan ang mga Filipino lalo na kung sila ay mga public official na kaya pala tahimik sa mga karahasang natatanggap ng iba nating mangingisda sa kamay ng mga dayuhan at ang iba naman ay handang ipamigay ang parte ng ating teritoryo o karapatan sa WPS (West Philippine Sea) ay dahil natatapalan ng pera ang kanilang mga mata para talikuran ang pagmamahal sa sariling bayan at ibenta ang ating kalayaan.
