The resignation of presidential son Paolo Duterte as Davao City vice mayor was just an attempt to “preempt investigations against him,” Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said on Monday as he questioned the former’s “delicadeza.”“Delicadeza, seriously? Pinatulan nga nya yung anak nya publicly sa Facebook, tapos delicadeza?” Trillanes said in a text message. So, that’s pure BS,” he added. Earlier, Duterte announced his resignation effective on Monday, Dec. 25. It was Trillanes who accused Duterte and his brother-in-law Manases Carpio of being behind the alleged “Davao Group” which facilitated smuggling at the BOC in exchange of grease money.
