Angry Senator and presidential candidate Richard Gordon accuses Villar of the latter's attempt to bribe him and the move to oust Senate president Juan Ponce Enrile on a radio interview last Monday.
his fellow senate and presidential rival Manny Villar is allegedly bribing him through an emissary. The emissary said that he would give Gordon any government post he wants as long as he withdraws his bid and side with them to oust Enrile.
It can be recalled that Villar was caught up in an issue about the C5 project double insertion, the issue lead Senate pres. Juan Ponce Enrile to arrive at the decision to make the second draft of the committee report and make Villar return the six billion budget that came from the government.
In Gordon's other Tv and radio guesting he revealed that the emissary is a close friend of Villar and is an influential person. Villar on the other denied the accusation. he adds that he won't do such things warns those who try to destroy his image. Finally, he says that he respects his fellow candidates and insist he wouldn't do such allegations.
But still Gordon wouldn't let the issue past. he dares Villar to name the emissary and both of them have a face off. He says that we would not withdraw from the presidential race and would fight till the end.
