SEN. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go hit back at former senator Antonio Trillanes 4th on Wednesday, saying the latter was the real “Bikoy.”
“Ang totoong Bikoy ay si Sonny Boy (Trillanes). ‘Yan ang totoong mayabang. Kahit saan ka pumunta, magliliparan tayong lahat dahil sa sobrang hangin mo. Alam ng tao ‘yun (The true Bikoy is Sonny Boy (Trillanes). He is the real braggart. We would all get blown away because he puts on airs ),” Go told reporters in an interview in Bocaue, Bulacan, where he distributed financial and relief assistance to more than 700 individuals who lost their homes in a fire.
Go was referring to the hooded man called Bikoy who appeared in a series of videos that went viral, linking President Rodrigo Duterte and his family to drug syndicates. An ex-convict named Peter Joemel Advincula later revealed himself as Bikoy.
“Sino bang magpi-finance kay Bikoy? Kaya ba niyang magbayad ng mga ginawang video na paninira eh milyon milyon ang halaga n’un? (Who financed Bikoy? Can he afford to pay for the expenses for the video they made to malign us which costs millions of pesos?)” Go said.
“Wala nang iba kung sino. Paninira kasi itong si totoong Bikoy na si Sonny Boy. Siya ang gumagawa ng kalokohan. Siya ang gumagawa ng black propaganda (There is nobody else.
The real Bikoy, who is actually Sonny Boy, is a black propagandist. He is the one creating black propaganda),” the senator added.
Trillanes, who posted bail on Tuesday for charges of conspiracy to commit sedition, accused Go and the President of bullying.
“Si Duterte, sila Bong Go, ‘yang mga ‘yan, pasiga-siga ‘yang mga ‘yan ngayon. ‘Pag wala na sa puwesto si Duterte, mark my words, hindi ‘yan haharap sa ganito (Duterte and Bong Go, they’re playing toughies for now. When Duterte steps down, mark my words, they will not face anything like this),” he said.
Go said Trillanes has the right to post bail.
“Karapatan niyang mag-bail. Panagutan niya ‘yan. Kalokohan niya ‘yan (He has the right to post bail. He has to answer for his foolishness),” he said.
The senator expressed the same sentiments in another interview at the Senate.
“Saan kukuha si Advincula ng pambayad, professional video lalabas? Sisirain mo, pinahubad mo ako ng dalawang beses. ‘Di ba pinahubad mo ako para kulayan mo kami ng itim para ikaw ang pumuti (Where can Advincula get the money to spend, to produce a professional video? You wanted to destroy me; you made me bare my back twice. You painted us black to make it appear that you are white),” he said.
To disprove allegations that he has a tattoo indicating membership in a drug syndicate, Go bared his back twice in press briefings.
The senator said he would face any charges that might be filed against him when the term of Duterte ends.
“Hindi ako tulad sa ‘yo. Pagdating ng panahon, pagbaba ng amo ko, hindi ako magtatago, pero papa-injection kami ni Pangulo ng anti-rabies. Baka makagat kami ng asong ulol (I am not like you. When the President steps down, I will not hide. But the President and I will get anti-rabies shots. We might be bitten by a mad dog),” he said, addressing Trillanes.
