MANILA, Philippines—United Nationalist Alliance interim president Congressman Toby Tiangco said Thursday that the planned debate between Vice President Jejomar Binay and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV is going to be pointless because the senator is a “liar.”

In an interview over Radyo Inquirer 990 AM, Tiangco said that although he has expressed his reservation on the conduct of the debate, he said that he is confident that the vice president will prove his innocence to the public.

“Wala naman akong worry doon sa debate. Ang sinasabi ko lang, paano ka makikipagadebate doon sa isang tao na hindi nagsasabi ng totoo? Walang pupuntahan ‘yung debate na ‘yun. I am confident na mapapatunayan ni VP [Binay] sa taumbayan na siya ang tama dito,” Tiangco said.
