Malacañang dismissed former President Rodrigo Duterte's claim that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was behind the attacks by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, calling it a 'hallucination.'
“Alam mo mahirap pumatol na sa ganiyan dahil hallucination na ‘yan,” Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said in an ambus interview on Monday.
Recently, Duterte expressed his suspicion that Trillanes was Malacañang-sponsored during a phone conversation with former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Atty. Salvador Panelo, while they were in a TikTok live.
The former president stated that he plans to file a libel suit against Trillanes over the latter's drug money allegations against him.
During the House quad-committee hearing on November 13, Duterte almost threw his microphone at Trillanes.
The incident occurred after Trillanes introduced the topic of a bank secrecy waiver in the hearing, with lawmakers urging Duterte to sign it.
The quad-committee is continuing its hearings on extrajudicial killings that took place during the Duterte administration's controversial 'war on drugs.'
