Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV exposes the alleged transactions involving Vice President Sara Duterte, her siblings Paolo, the Davao City 1st District Rep, and Sebastian, the Davao City mayor and alleged 'drug lord' Sammy Uy during a press conference in San Juan City on Oct. 2, 2026. Trillanes, who was supposed to testify in the impeachment proceedings against the vice president, also claimed that she and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, received millions in funds from China, which he considered alarming and should be a concrete evidence for Duterte’s impeachment.
