Former Customs Chief Nicanor Faeldon remains a “sacred cow” because he knows the “dark secrets” of  President Rodrigo Duterte’s family,” Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said on Wednesday following Faeldon’s appointment at the Department of National Defense (DND).

“Faeldon knows the dark secrets of the Duterte family that’s why, even if he is grossly incompetent, he remains a sacred cow,” Trillanes said  in a text message to reporters when sought  for comment on  Faeldon’s new appointment  as deputy administrator III of the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) under the Department of National Defense.

It was Trillanes who tagged Faeldon as being “at the heart of the controversy” involving the Bureau of Customs (BOC), allowing a P6.4-billion worth of smuggled shabu from China to enter the country.

Faeldon is currently detained at the Senate detention facility after the Senate blue ribbon committee investigating the BOC mess ordered his detention when he repeatedly refused to appear before the panel’s hearing. /jpv
