Trillanes added that this was also why Duterte protected Yang from dismissed Police Colonel Eduardo Acierto’s report.
In 2017, Acierto tagged Yang as a drug lord and claimed that the former president, Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go, and Sen. Ronald dela Rosa were aware of this but turned a blind eye to Yang’s involvement.
