Pulong to Agot: You want back-baring? Do it yourself or with Hilbay
DAVAO CITY — Presidential son and resigned Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo “Pulong” Duterte on Friday brushed aside actress Agot Isidro’s dare for him to follow former presidential aide and senatorial candidate Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go to show his back and reveal his supposed tattoo.
In a Facebook post today, April 12, Paolo said Isidro should instead do it alone or with opposition senatorial candidate Florin Hilbay.
“I’m calling on Agot Isidro if she wants a back-baring stunt, it’s better she do it solo. Or she can do it with her gf Flor Hilbay,” Paolo posted on Facebook, in reaction to Isidro’s tweet.
The actress and Hilbay, a former solicitor general, are rumored to be dating.
In her tweet, which Paolo took a screenshot of and posted on his social media account, Isidro congratulated the DDS, an acronym of the so-called Duterte diehard supporters, for convincing Go to step up to the challenge of showing his tattoo-less back amid allegations on social media by supposed former drug syndicate member “Bikoy” that Go has a dragon tattoo on his back that would validate his membership to a drug syndicate.
The confessed whistleblower claimed in a series of videos posted on YouTube that Go has gotten over P3 billion of drug money from illegal drugs groups through four rural bank accounts.
While in a campaign sortie in Agusan del Sur this week, Go bared to the media his clean back to belie the allegation, although observers were quick to point out that there were strange round indentations on his otherwise tattoo-less back.
Go said the marks were made by ventosa or cupping therapy, a type of muscle relaxation therapy.
“Thank you SapGo for being a sport. Sport nyo yata ang pagve-ventosa. Akala ko basketball (Getting a ventosa is your sport. I thought it was basketball),” Isidro tweeted. “Pulong is next.”
Paolo has vehemently denied allegations he was involved in the illegal drugs trade and refused calls and dares from the opposition for him to show his supposed back tattoo.
His sister, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, has said it was within her brother’s right to privacy to refuse to bare his back unless a court order compels him to do so.
