MANILA, Philippines — The members of the opposition are not necessarily involved in the publication of “Bikoy” videos, according to Senate President Vicente Sotto III.

“Pwedeng sabihin kasi ‘pag sinabing opposition kailangan i-identify mo kung sino sa opposition,” Sotto said in an interview with AM radio station DWIZ on Saturday.

“I’d rather say na hindi opposition I’d rather say yung ang mga naasa likod niyan [Bikoy] ayaw sa adminsitrasyong ito, not necessarily opposition,” he added.

Sotto was reacting on “Bikoy,” who is the hooded man behind the “Ang Totoong Narcolist” video series, which claimed that members of the Duterte family had links with illegal drug trade.

With this, Sotto said he was certain that the members of the opposition senators will not be involved in the videos.

“For example in the Senate yung opposition sina [Sen. Franklin Drilon], I’m sure that Frank will not indulge in that,” Sotto said. (Editor: Jonathan P. Vicente)
