Go slams ‘recycler’ Trillanes amid
plunder raps
Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has filed plunder and graft charges against former President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Bong Go before the Office of the Ombudsman.
Trillanes alleges that Duterte and Go facilitated nearly P7 billion in infrastructure projects for Go's family-owned companies, CLTG Builders and Alfrego Builders & Supply.
These contracts were reportedly awarded between 2007 and 2024, including under the Duterte administration's "Build, Build, Build" program, with projects primarily in Davao City and the Davao Region.
Senator Go has dismissed the accusations as "baseless" and a "recycled diversionary tactic," stating he welcomes the opportunity to address the allegations before the Ombudsman.
Trillanes cited data from the Commission on Audit and public infrastructure records to support his claims, highlighting five recent flood control projects worth P327 million in the Davao Region.
Go previously stated that the charges were previously archived by then ombudsman Samuel Martires and that Trillanes refiled the complaint after Martires retired.
