Just when everyone thought the smoke had cleared, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV have gone at it again.

This time, Enrile said he would bare the truth about Trillanes during next years campaigna move the Senate President believes would cost his young colleague his reelection bid.

Trillanes, in turn, dared the chambers oldest member to attend a seminar on public policy he was willing to conduct after Enrile accused him of copying an old bill on the countrys baselines territory that Enrile had authored.

The word war that began three weeks ago was apparently rekindled by rumors that Trillanes was behind a white paper that was circulated last week listing Senate reporters allegedly on the take from Enrile.

Hard copies of the list were left in the Senate press office.

Trillanes denied any hand in the anonymously penned charge sheet in a phone conversation with the Philippine Daily Inquirer Thursday.

I did not do that, he said, after learning that he was the prime suspect behind the paper.

Trillanes also called other Senate reporters to deny that he was behind the white paper.
