And because the said US trip is not considered as official, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV could not help but ask as to whether it was paid by Honeylet herself or taxpayers’ money.
“Älam nating lahat na hindi siya legal na asawa ni Duterte, at lalong hindi sya opisyal ng gobyerno. So ang tanong ko at ng sambayang Pilipino, “Kaninong pera ang pinanggastos nya?” At isa pa, bakit parang ang dami naman nya bodyguard na isinama?” Sen. Trillanes told reporters this Friday,
September 22 when asked for his reaction about Honeylet’s US trip. “Ngayon, kung sa akin naman ibabalik ang tanong kung pera ko yung ginastos ko papuntang Singapore kung saan napatunayan natin na sinungaling si Duterte at mga alagad nya, malakas ang loob kong sasabihin na sarili kong pera ginamit ko dun kahit kung tutuusin pwede kong kunin sa budget ng opisina ko.” dagdag pa nito
The soldier turned politician added. Sen. Trillanes was referring to President Duterte’s accusations that he allegedly owned several offshore bank accounts.
Honeylet Avanceña was spotted last Tuesday night n New York City while watching the hit Broadway musical “Miss Saigon.” That time, she was seen surrounded by supposed government security escorts.
In an ambush interview, she confirmed the invitation from Mrs. Trump, and that the said trip was related to her charity works. However, Foreign Affairs spokesperson Robespierre Bolivar clarified that Avanceña was not part of the official Philippine delegation to the UN General Assembly.
Nevertheless, Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said he is assuming that Honeylet paid for her US trip, and that her personal income as a businesswoman makes her capable of paying her own travel expenses.
