Former senator
Antonio Trillanes IV claimed that President Rodrigo Duterte is allegedly
planning to have the Davao Group, composed of Duterte’s allies; purchase ABS
CBN once its stock prices nosedived and owners sell the station.
Trillanes
made the statement in his latest YouTube video, saying he received an intel
about the President’s move.
“May
impormasyon akong natanggap na kaya tinatakot ni Duterte ang ABS-CBN na hindi
ibibigay ang franchise dito ay para bumagsak ang halaga nito sa stock market
para mabili ng kanyang Davao Group,” he said
“Base sa
aking impormante, nag-offer na raw ang Davao Group para bilhin ito,” the former
senator said
He said that
once Duterte’s allies acquire the station, they will certainly win the next
elections as they could promote their own
candidates and malign their rivals.
“Dahil aside
sa hindi na magre-report ng negatibo ang TV Patrol, kaya pa nilang i-promote
ang kanilang candidate at strain ang mga karıbal nila sa eleksyon,” Trillanes,
one of the vocal critics of the President, said.
Trillanes
believes that Kapamilya artists could also be used to campaign for Duterte
allies once Davao Group takes over.
Duterte
recently accepted the apology of ABS CBN President Karlo Katigbak for airing
the negative political ad reportedly paid by Trillanes in 2016.
“Nandiyan
na eh (It’s already there.) I accept the apology, of course,” Duterte
told reporters Wednesday at Malacañang.
