'Yun ang hiningi ko sa bangko,” Panelo told GMA News.<br /><br />However, Panelo revealed that BPI asked for 7 days in order to look into their request due to legal issues. This means that the bank account details will be disclosed on May 11, two days after election day if the 7-day period would only include banking days.<br /><br />Panelo added that they did not ask for a transaction history since the issue is the P211 million deposit in Duterte’s bank account. According to him, Duterte’s current balance in the said account is P17,660.<br /><br />In Trillanes’ affidavit, the lawmaker tagged a certain Joseph De Mesa as his source of information on Duterte’s alleged hidden millions. De Mesa, a former Duterte supporter, apparently has contacts in an agency that investigates ill-gotten wealth of government officials.<br /><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
