00:00Former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV files plunder and graft complaints against former President
00:06Rodrigo Duterte and Sen. Bong Go, over P7 billion in government contracts awarded to
00:11Go family firms. Trillanes also files the same cases against Go's father, Desiderio
00:17of CLTG Builders, and his brother, Alfredo of Alfrego Builders and Supply. The complaint
00:22was partly based on a 2018 Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism report that CLTG
00:28and Alfrego secured the most government projects in Davao from 2007 to 2017.
00:33This was when Duterte was mayor of Davao City until he became Philippine president.
00:37We know that it's a big deal with Bongo and Duterte, that's why they can't find out
00:46that it's not an influence. This is a violation of our law, and that's why we have it.
00:55Trillanes also notes that the two firms were awarded a total of P6.6 billion in government
01:00contracts from 2007 to 2018. He filed similar charges in 2024, which was later dismissed by
01:07former Ombudsman Samuel Martires. What's new in this complaint was the mention of the Go family's
01:13links to contractors Curly and Sara Diskaya. CLTG and St. Gerard Construction were in a joint venture in
01:20five Davao Region projects, amounting to P816 million.
