#PolitikoWatch FTW or epic fail? Trillanes vows to expose corruption despite the odds

Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV isn’t giving up the anti-corruption fight.

Trillanes appeared in a latest video vowing to continue to expose corruption in government despite the odds, including the criticisms against him. The former rebel soldier, who plans to run for public office in next year’s elections, he could only declare “mission accomplished” once the real change is attained.

At the start of the video, Trillanes said many have told him to simply cooperate with the government instead of focusing on his exposés, investigation and complaints. He admitted he thought if these people were right that he should stop what he has been doing. But he realized his love for country prevailed over these criticisms against him.

“Pero kung walang lalaban sa katiwalian sa gobyerno, walang magrereklamo, walang mag-e-expose ng mga corrupt opisyal, ano ang mangyayari sa ating bayan? Doon ko na tinanggap na maraming magagalit sa akin, marami na patuloy na magbabatikos pero hahayaan ko na sila,” he said.

“Ang mahalaga ginagampanan ko ang aking tungkulin,” he said.

Trillanes said he is happy that many people, including the youth, have become aware and joined the fight against corruption.

“Dahil dito hindi ako nawawalan ng pag-asa na parating na ang pagbabago at pag nangyari ‘yun, finally
puwede ko na sabihin ‘mission accomplished,'” he said.

Trillanes is a known vocal critic of Duterte over allegations of corruption, incompetence, and drug-related killings. He has drawn the ire of the President a number of times over his criticisms against his administration.

Unfazed by the President’s rants, Trillanes voiced confidence the country will be freed from the so-called “Duterte curse” in 2022.
