TECHNICAL Education and Skills Development Authority Director-General Secretary Guiling Mamondiong will be filing a case before a Quezon City court against two radio commentators over a “blind item” allegedly linking him to an alleged sex try.
He said he will be filing a case today against radio dzBB commentators Arnold Clavio and Ali Sotto, hosts of the radio program Jengjeng, over a blind item that a Duterte appointee was allegedly caught in a CCTV footage trying to have sex with a staff.
While there are no direct references linking Mamondiong to the blind item, a Willie Revillame song, Giling-Giling, was dropped as a clue to listeners.
Mamondiong, a staunch ally of President Rodrigo Duterte, earlier claimed that 90 percent of the 106-million Filipinos supported Duterte.
Meanwhile, Duterte on Thursday admitted asking his former campaign spokesman, Peter Tiu Laviña, to “quietly resign” as administrator of the National Irrigation Administration over the alleged extortion raps hounding him.
“I just fired one last week. Unless they would, in these cases, Pare, we’re one in government but you should be clean and this one is for profit, do not embarrass me. ‘Pag hiniya niyo ako, hiwa-hiwalay tayo,” Duterte said of Laviña in a chance interview in Cordova, Cebu, on Thursday.
Asked if it hurt him to remove Laviña, the President replied “Yes, of course.”
In a speech during the launching of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission in his hometown last Friday, Duterte said he fired somebody from the government but did not mention any name.
The allegations of corruption against Laviña, a former Davao City councilor and personal aide of Duterte, came after he allegedly asked 40 percent in kickbacks for NIA projects.
