The lawyer of Mayor Duterte noted further that the Davao City Mayor did not possess the controversial P211 million in his deposit account at the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Julia Vargas Branch in Pasig City.
In an interview with GMA News’ “News To Go,” Atty. Panelo was quoted as saying “I have addressed the bank to issue the necessary documents. Based on the records of the bank, walang P211 million sa kanyang deposit mula pa noong ito’y binuksan niya at hanggang ngayon,” Panelo said.
Atty. Panelo is representing the camp of Mayor Duterte in a face-off with Sen. Trillanes at the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). The lawyer revealed that he was authorized by Mayor Duterte to open his bank account and release a bank certification that the PDP-Laban standard-bearer never amassed P211 million.
During the meeting with Sen. Trillanes Atty. Panelo dared the senator to issue a sworn statement regarding his allegations and if the senator, believes his evidence against Duterte was true.
“Ayaw niyang maglagda ng isang sinumpaang salaysay dahil puwedeng siyang idemanda,” Panelo said.
Sen. Trillanes should be the one to prove the existence of the money, not Duterte, since bank secrecy laws prohibit banks and its personnel to reveal account details of its clients, according to the laywer.
“Mayroong batas na nagsasabing hindi puwedeng mag-reveal ang bangko na anumang impormasyon kaugnay sa deposito ng isang kliyente. Nakalagay din sa batas na nagbabawal sa isang empleyado na maglabas ng impormasyon sa deposito sapagkat sila ay idedemanda sa ilalim ng batas,” Panelo said.
A waiver of bank secrecy law and other documents will belie the allegations against Duterte, the lawyer noted.

Napakatuso ni Trillanes, hindi pala pinirmahan ang ibinigay na affidavit. E DI HINDI TOTOO ANG MGA BINTANG NIYA. Kasi makakasuhan siya ng perjury pag nagkataon, dahil sa pamemeke ng dokumento at pag-iimbento ng kung ano-anong kabalbalan na walang katotohanan.
Napakatuso naman ni Trillanes hindi pala niya pinirmahan ang affidavit na ibinigay niya sa abogado ni Duterte. E DI HINDI TOTOO ANG BINTANG niya kay Duterte! Takot siyang pumirma dahil makakasuhan siya ng perjury dahil sa pamemeke ng dokomento at pag-imbento ng kung ano-anong kasalaulaan.
