Duterte should be given credit for admitting inventing Trillanes bank account -- Palace

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte should be given credit for admitting during a live television interview that he just “invented” the bank account number of a supposed foreign account of Sen. Antonio Trillanes 4th, his spokesman said on Wednesday.

“I think you have to understand that the President is very transparent about that fact about that incident. He was not hiding anything in fact he put it in context,” Ernesto Abella told reporters in an interview before the Senate finance committee’s budget hearing on the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
