President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday lashed out at senators anew, specifically Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman Richard Gordon.

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday lashed out at senators anew, specifically Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman Richard Gordon, accusing him of going on a witch hunt for political gain.

"Sabihin mo kung ano ang kulang para malaman namin. Ngayon kung mayroon kang nakita, ilabas mo na para malaman namin kung ano 'yan. And because you cannot find any overpricing, or it's because a witch hunt, a fishing expedition, or a political circus. Na kunwari sa panahon na ito, ikaw ang graft buster. Ikaw ang naghahanap ng katiwalian sa gobyerno," he said in a recorded public address.

Duterte has been lambasting Gordon in public speeches after the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee began grilling former Presidential economic adviser Michael Yang and former Budget Undersecretary Lloyd Christopher Lao, the president's former election lawyer, over allegedly shady deals involving state funds.

The President has said he would actively campaign against Gordon, and called for the senator's resignation as head of the Philippine Red Cross.
