MANILA, Philippines – Sa isang press conference, sinabi ni Go na ang paghahain ni Trillanes ng mga reklamo laban sa kanya at kay ex-President Rodrigo Duterte ay isang diversionary tactic lamang para ilayo ang atensyon ng publiko sa maanomalyang flood control scandal.
“To Trillanes: You are barking at the wrong tree. If you are really serious, why don’t you file a case against corrupt officials? Why don’t you file a case against your financiers? Those contractors. You know that. We’ve been holding hearings here in the Senate about that for months now,” saad ni Go.
“The truth is already coming out, and it has been revealed who the contractors were, who the owners were, who had contractors, and who earned. They are the contractors; they are also the congressmen. Go after them, Trillanes. You don’t want to go after them because they are your financiers,” binigyang-diin ng Senador.
“Don’t act as if you’re clean. Do not divert the public’s attention from the truth. Let’s stay here in the truth. Seek the truth, not the script, not the playbook,” ani Go.
“This is just old music from an old script. This is a recycled issue, and they are trying to revive it so that they can paint me black. My conscience is clean, unlike him,” dagdag niya.
Sa parehong forum, iniharap ni Go ang mga balitang nagpapakita ng paulit-ulit na pagsasampa ng kaso ni Trillanes laban sa kanya. Sinabi ni Go na ito ay nangyayari mula noong 2018.
Nagsampa si Trillanes ng plunder at ilang iba pang reklamong kriminal laban kina Go at Duterte sa Office of the Ombudsman nitong Martes.
Inaakusahan ng dating senador si Go na ibinubuhos ang halos P7 bilyong halaga ng mga proyekto sa imprastraktura ng gobyerno sa mga kumpanyang pag-aari ng pamilya ng senador. RNT/MND
