Sen. Antonio Trillanes Flew To Singapore to Clear Alleged Foreign Bank Accounts
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV flew to Singapore to clarify the issue that he has alleged offshore bank accounts in different countries.
Previously, there are some reports and social media posts presenting numerous proofs and evidence exposing the alleged offshore bank accounts of Senator Trillanes.
The alleged hidden wealth of the Trillanes was estimated amounting P55 million, which contradicts his declaration of his Statement of Account Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) that he has only a P5 million worth of assets.
The lawmaker allegedly distributed his wealth in different countries including Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Hongkong to avoid being tracked by the government.
On Monday (September 19, 2017), Trillanes flew to Singapore to visit a branch of DBS Bank to clarify and debunk the accusations against him of having offshore bank accounts.
President Rodrigo Duterte accused the lawmaker of having 193, 000 in the same bank, but did not specify the currency of the amount. He also said that the account of Trillanes in Singapore is numbered 178000296012.
Trillanes has shown his willingness to prove his innocence on the accusations against him through exposing the alleged bank accounts under the name “Antonio F. Trillanes” or Antonio Fuentes Trillanes IV.
“Kung ano man yan, may the IV man yan o walang IV, sarado man yan or existing account, joint or single, lahat yan papabuksan natin. Para makita ng mga kababayan natin na ginagamit ni Duterte yung kapangyarihan niya para siraan yung oposisyon at para i-divert yung issue palayo doon sa issue laban sa kanya at doon sa kanyang anak na invovled na illegal drugs,” said by Trillanes quoted by GMA.
