Statement of Senator Trillanes re dismissal of ODO Carandang

I strongly condemn Duterte's dismissal of ODO Carandang. Not only is this illegal and unconstitutional since the Office of Ombudsman is an autonomous constitutional body, it is also highly unethical to fire the very same person investigating him. Up to now, Duterte cannot face this serious allegation about his hidden wealth amounting to billions of pesos of deposits; so, he is resorting to cover-up and harassment tactics.
