Senators exchanges opinions on Monday regarding the alleged "destabilization plot" against the Duterte administration.
For one, Senator Panfilo Lacson accused Senator Antonio Trillanes IV of using retired policeman Arturo Lascañas, a self-confessed leader of the alleged Davao Death Squad (DDS), to create chaos.
Lacson also tagged Trillanes as the "handler" of Lascañas and of another self-confessed DDS hitman, Edgar Matobato.
On the other hand, Senator Vicente Sotto III said Lascañas and Matobato should not be given any accommodation, given that they lied under oath.
“We should not use the Senate as a venue to spread lies,” Sotto said.
Meanwhile, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian described Lascañas and those willing to testify against the President as "a bait" to create chaos and eventually "destabilize" the present administration.
Trillanes defended himself. He said "exposing the truth is not destabilization."
Trillanes added: ""If the truth is destabilizing, are they saying that lies are now acceptable and should be tolerated?"
"Let the people decide. We have to live in the light of truth and not in the darkness of lies," Trillanes maintained.
