Trillanes on Faeldon’s DND post: Ex-Customs commissioner has goods on Duterte, kin


Former Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon has the goods on President Rodrigo Duterte and his family, opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said on Wednesday.

Trillanes said this was the reason why Faeldon had been appointed to another post, this time at the Department of National Defense, despite what he called "gross incompetence."

“Faeldon knows the dark secrets of the Duterte family. That’s why, even if he is grossly incompetent, he remains a sacred cow,” Trillanes said.

Duterte has appointed Faeldon deputy administrator of the Office of Civil Defense to replace Rodolfo Santillan.

Faeldon resigned a few months ago after he was linked to the controversial P6.4-billion shabu shipment that became the subject of a Senate investigation.

He is still detained at the Senate for contempt after he repeatedly refused to answer questions at the Senate inquiry. —NB, GMA News
