MANILA, Philippines — Outgoing Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV on Tuesday said that if incoming Sen. Imee Marcos was insinuating he was a bad person, she was showing too much hypocrisy.
“If the religious ritual is meant to help her fulfill her mandate as a newly elected Senator, then that’s a good thing,” Trillanes said in a statement. “But if she’s saying it to insinuate na masama akong tao, then sobrang ka-ipokritohan naman yun, even for a Marcos.”
[But if she’s saying it to insinuate that I’m a bady guy, then that’s too much hypocrisy, even for a Marcos.]
Trillanes made the remark after Marcos said she was planning to do a ritual at her new office, which was used by Trillanes during his term.
Trillanes is a staunch critic of President Rodrigo Duterte.
