Impeachment trial to open Duterte's joint bank accounts with VP Sara for scrutiny

By Ellen Tordesillas

The apoplectic reaction of Rodrigo Duterte during the Nov. 13 hearing of the House quad committee when former senator Antonio Trillanes IV presented some contents of the former president’s bank accounts in the Bank of the Philippine Islands is not surprising at all.

Since the news on those bank accounts of Duterte and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, were first published on April 28, 2016, the former president’s reaction has ranged from lying to more lying to more lying.

In the course of his endless lying, sometimes his mind trips and he blurts out the truth, such as when he said during the quadcom hearing that it is not impossible for his bank accounts to now hold even P5 billion.
