Senator Antonio Trillanes Official Statement
Vice Presidentiable candidate Senator Antonio Trillanes is said to be the sponsor of the controversial Ad which was been aired on network giants, ABS-CBN, and GMA-7. The controversial ad is an obvious anti-Duterte ad which gained a lot of criticism from the public.
The ad is showing clips of Duterte uttering controversial rape remark, cursing, and ki||ings. In the clips, it can be seen also that various children criticized the behavior of Duterte.
Netizens are alarmed because of this political ad and network giants received a lot of negative criticisms most especially in the so-called “bias” broadcasting.
Immediately, ABS-CBN released a statement with regards to the issue saying:
“The controversial political advertisement being talked about in social media, which aired on ABS-CBN, was produced and paid for by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV. Prior to the airing, ABS-CBN’s ethics committee reviewed the content of the material, which complies with the requirements of pertinent election laws.”
“By airing the said commercial, ABS-CBN is being consistent with COMELEC guidelines, which prohibit radio or television stations to discriminate in the sale of air time against any political party or candidate. We are duty bound to air a legitimate ad.”

Meanwhile, Senator Antonio Trillanes also releases his statement saying:
The truth definitely hurts. The children were purposely used to hammer the message that they should always be part of the consideration in our choice of leaders of the country not only because it is for their future but also because they will emulate these leaders. Besides, the children were shown in a positive light and all pertinent laws were strictly followed.
But wait, Dutertards are suddenly concerned about children? Yet they laugh every time Duterte cusses and jokes about his penis and rape not realizing that children are listening too? Such hypocrisy, right? Now, that’s what the ad is all about too.
