When Sen. Antonio Trillanes first came out with his barrage of charges against Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, calls flew for the leading presidential candidate to sign a waiver.
He also actually had a waiver tacked into his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Work (SALN). Like other politicians who earlier signed waivers, it was addressed to the Ombudsman, the proper body that investigates alleged graft by government officials.
Trillanes, a failed mutineer who’s never been able to learn when enough is enough, kept on yakking.
Like every entitled would-be hero, he actually believed his claim of righteousness could let him sweep aside ethics and due process.
Duterte called Trillanes’ bluff.
After the noisy stand-off by their supporters today at the BPI Julia Vargas branch, Trillanes stalked off.
Trillanes went to media and claimed Duterte did not sign a waiver. That he was a coward and that it proved his charges false.
He wasn’t being truthful.
