Filipinos, wake up! On January 21, 2026—right here, right now—former Senator Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes IV, together with the brave patriots of The Silent Majority (TSM), stormed the Office of the Ombudsman and slammed down a thunderous set of plunder and graft complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. This isn't politics as usual. This is a desperate, righteous cry from the heart of our suffering nation: Stop stealing from our children, our future, our blood, sweat, and tears!
Let me shout it from the rooftops: Bravo, Sonny Trillanes! Job magnificently done! In an era where too many leaders cower, compromise, or sell out, you remain a fierce, unrelenting warrior for truth and accountability. A former naval officer who once risked everything to expose corruption, you’ve never backed down—and today, you’ve done it again. Partnering with ordinary Filipinos through TSM, you’ve refused to let billions in public funds vanish into shadows while our schools crumble, our kids learn in makeshift classrooms, and families scrape by. Your courage is the spark this nation desperately needs. Saludo po sa inyo—full respect, full fire!
The charges laid bare are staggering, gut-wrenching, unforgivable:
- P650 million in confidential funds from the Vice President's office and DepEd—allegedly plundered and malversed, diverted while the nation watched.
- A jaw-dropping P2.7 billion in confidential funds during her time as Davao City mayor—money that could have built hospitals, fed the hungry, educated the young—instead, allegedly pocketed or funneled to cronies.
- P8 billion wasted on overpriced DepEd laptops—pure graft that robbed students of tools they needed.
- P12 billion in Commission on Audit disallowances—glaring incompetence or worse.
- P7 billion in unliquidated cash advances—vanished into thin air.
- Only 192 classrooms built out of a promised 6,000—leaving generations to suffer in dilapidated rooms while billions disappeared.
- Undeclared P2 billion in bank deposits and assets—ill-gotten wealth hidden from the SALN, betraying every taxpayer.
- Explosive claims of bribery from drug lords during her mayoral days—money allegedly flowing from the very evil her family once vowed to crush.
- And the chilling threats to kill the sitting President—betrayal of public trust on the highest level!
This isn't a trickle of mismanagement. This is a flood of alleged abuse that has drowned public trust. TSM's Jocelyn Acosta nailed it: this reckless pattern of spending didn't start yesterday—it traces back to Davao, carried like a virus into national power. If these allegations hold, we're not talking policy disagreements. We're talking grand larceny against 110 million Filipinos!
And to those who sneer, who defend, who threaten: Bakit matatakot kung walang kasalanan? Why the panic? Why the stonewalling? Why did the 19th Congress, under figures like Chiz Escudero, allegedly block scrutiny when the stench was already rising? If she's clean, let the full light of due process shine! Let every document, every affidavit—including Ramil Madriaga's explosive claims tying funds to POGOs and drug-linked figures—be laid bare. Prove the innocence in court, not in press releases or intimidation.
The so-called "Uniteam" has become a cruel joke—"Unithieves," many now call it. Both camps drowning in the same swamp of corruption. The Duterte era, once sold as iron-fisted justice, now stands accused of the very plunder it pretended to fight. The Filipino people are exhausted. We demand a break from this endless cycle of thievery and drama.
Sonny Trillanes has thrown down the gauntlet. The Ombudsman must act swiftly—no delays, no whitewash. The courts must deliver justice without fear or favor. And if the evidence proves these crimes, then yes—the era of impunity must end. No more dynasties looting with impunity. No more leaders who threaten murder while their hands are allegedly deep in our pockets.
Filipinos deserve better. We deserve leaders who build, not betray. We deserve transparency, not terror. We deserve justice—real, swift, uncompromising justice.
Thank you, Trillanes, for refusing to be silent. For fighting when others flee. For reminding us that one determined voice, backed by the truth, can shake the foundations of corruption.
The battle is on. Let justice roar!
