SEN. TRILLANES' STATEMENT RE: IMEE MONEY AFTER OAKWOOD AND THE BACK CHANNEL ISSUE

"Hindi totoo yan. Diversion yan sa issue ng mga bilyones niya. Regarding the backdoor channel issue, na-ipaliwanag ko na yan in so many forums before. I was appointed as back channel negotiator by PNoy to deescalate the situation in Scarborough and I did it without surrendering our sovereignty claims. In fact, that is now the subject of our arbitration case."
