MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Saying he does not want to be a “party pooper,” Senator Antonio Trillanes has vowed to give Mayor Rodrigo Duterte “all the latitude” he needs to fulfill his promises, especially his promise to end crime and corruption within 3-6 months after becoming president.

At the same time, the senator who unsuccessfully ran for vice president in the May 9 elections, offered himself to be Duterte’s Secretary of Finance.

Trillanes said that he has the credentials to head the Finance Department and that he has shown his financial expertise and brilliant mind when he tried to expose Duterte’s alleged secret bank accounts.

“I will retract all my allegations about Duterte’s bank accounts if he makes me Finance Secretary,” Trillanes told The Adobo Chronicles.
