UPDATE: Trillanes won’t resist arrest but vows to fight ‘stupid order’
SEN. Antonio Trillanes 4th on Tuesday said he would not resist arrest following President Rodrigo Duterte’s order revoking the amnesty granted to him in 2010.
“I will not resist arrest. I will not hide,” Trillanes said,adding that his lawyers are doing everything to “revoke that stupid” order.
Sought for reaction on the imminent arrest of Trillanes, Senate President Vicente Sotto 3rd said, “I will await an official copy of the presidential proclamation.
“The Senate will make a collegial reaction. I have no personal comment,” Sotto said.
In a speech before new barangay officials in Cebu City last June 7, the President said that “there will come a day that someone will shoot him because he’s arrogant.”
Trillanes, on his part, dared Duterte to “go ahead [and]order somebody to shoot me” even as the former warned the President that “it would lead to your end.”
After spending seven years in prison on coup d’etat charges, Senator Trillanes was sworn into office by then Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and was finally able to attend his first Senate session on Jan. 17, 2011.
