from the Facebook page of Ellen Tordesillas

MANILA, Philippines — Vera Files President Ellen Tordesillas on Wednesday challenged Malacañang to present evidence of the alleged ouster plot against President Rodrigo Duterte.

The veteran journalist issued the statement after Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo bared matrices, claiming the Liberal Party and Magdalo Party-list were in cahoots with some media entities, including Vera FIles, to discredit Duterte and boost the candidacies of opposition bets.
