This is quite a long story. Out of maybe hate for Sen. Trillanes’ investigation on Calida’s contracts with the government when he was still a part of it, the latter forced Pres. Duterte’s hand to issue proclamation 572 saying that Sen. Trillanes (back when he was still a soldier) did not file an application for amnesty when he was jailed for seven years and was granted amnesty back in 2011 by then Pres. Aquino. He has since resigned when he ran and he won as Senator back in 2010.
The Dept. of Justice filed a motion for his arrest in two courts in Makati. The first judge let him out on bail while Judge Soriano dismissed the case a few hours ago after almost two months studying the case and reviewing all the papers submitted by Sen. Trillanes. What has been decided upon previously can no longer be overruled. A single solitary voice showed what true justice is. And in a world where most Filipinos are losing their faith in the justice system, Judge Soriano stood for all of us.
I am so glad democracy is still working in our land. Those trolls and Duterte diehards rejoiced earlier and they were so excited to see Sen. Trillanes in jail. Sorry for you guys, Judge Soriano is a fair judge, he could not be dictated upon by your president.
Here’s a link on what happened today at Makati RTC Branch 148 and here’s photo of a triumphant smile from Sen. Trillanes.
He is the only one brave enough and outspoken enough to question the wrongdoings of this government.
Good to hear that you have people speaking out against corruption, Arlene. Let’s hope they continue to be heard.
Best wishes, Pete.

Praying on it Pete. Trillanes was jailed along with other coup plotters because they protested la Gloria’s corrupt rule when she was still president.

May himala! I’ve been praying for him and Sen. Leila de Lima even though I was resigned to the fact that his enemies are in power and “might makes right”. I just hope Justice Guevarra would follow his conscience and do the right thing instead of being a blind follower of DU30.
Let’s keep on praying for them as the battle is not yet over!

Oh my Guevarra even issued a threat that it is just the beginning, there is still the Supreme Court . Seems as if they are again planning something untoward. Aren’t you glad that Facebook deleted and removed several pages and sites doing fake news? and that include several pro-Duts and Marcos pages.

I hope Guevarra will see the light instead of just following the orders of his Lord even if they are not reasonable and just. Yes, I’m glad FB is on the side of the light. Isn’t it obvious to the DDS that they are on the side of darkness? Pls. keep on praying for our country, Sen Trillanes and De Lima.

Yes, we have a prayer group on FB and every day, they post prayers there. Oh si Guevarra, wala yata talaga eto sa katinuan. Isang tao, dino Diyos niya.I wonder is he even concerned about the people they are supposed to serve and protect?
