Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte finds lifestyle check on husband “Unreasonable”,based on chismis and lies!

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte on Wednesday said that submitting his husband Manases Carpio for a lifestyle check is “unreasonable” if the basis would be the statements of Customs fixer Mark Taguba and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. 

The Mayor said that allegations against them were merely based on “chismis” and lies. 

The Senate blue ribbon committee recommended a lifestyle check on her husband and brother,over their alleged involvement in smuggling purportedly facilitated by the “Davao Group”. 

However Davao City Mayor welcomed the investigation of the Ombudsman into their family’s wealth. 

“I’d like to reiterate that I welcome the investigation by the Ombudsman since this will allow us to answer accusations and I also welcome a lifestyle check on my husband so that the issue is put to rest,” said Mayor Duterte.

“Trillanes is a paid troll. He is fishing for information with his lies and accusations. If indeed he is correct, bakit siya kukuha ng ebidensiya sa amin? Kasi alam niya hindi totoo ang sinasabi niya. Tapos na ang election, may nanalo na, mag-antay nalang siya ng election sa 2022 ulit,” she also said. 

In a draft committee report, the Senate committee chaired by Senator Dick Gordon encouraged the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a lifestyle check on Manases and Paolo Duterte, but Senator Gordon did not recommend to file charges against the two. 

The said draft committee report is still for approval of the Senate blue ribbon committee.
