Trillanes: Firm of VP Sara's husband got P319M from China
Trillanes said Cale88 Foods took in P319 million in Chinese remittances and raised new questions about Duterte-linked firms and undeclared assets.
- On Friday, former Senator Antonio Trillanes alleged that entities linked to Vice President Sara Duterte received hundreds of millions of pesos from Chinese sources, presenting his findings at Club Filipino in San Juan City.
- Trillanes claimed Cale88 Foods Corp, a firm with ties to Duterte's husband Mans Carpio, received P319 million from China while reporting "zero rank and file employees" despite millions in sales.
- The former senator also alleged the Malasakit Alliance, an entity counting Duterte and Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano as trustees, received P150 million from the Chinese Embassy for the construction of 13 classrooms.
- House prosecutors recently dropped Trillanes as a witness in Duterte's impeachment trial, while Duterte has previously denied all allegations of possessing unexplained wealth.
- He flagged SEC records for Timesquare Bee Foods and Gencorp containing the allegedly fictitious name Ang Hai Peng, arguing these financial flows to Duterte-linked firms pose severe national security implications.
