Senator says he will post P200,000 bail today
(Eagle News) — “Officially, wala na tayong demokrasya.”
This was the reaction of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, following a Makati court’s order to have him arrested and have a hold departure order issued against him on Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Judge Elmo Alameda of the Makati RTC Branch 150, where Trillanes was charged with rebellion, set bail for the senator at P200,000.
Trillanes said he would post bail today.
“Kahit pinakita na namin lahat ng ebidensya…., gayon pa rin, inilabas pa rin itong warrant of arrest..so officially wala na tayong demokrasya..This goes beyond me..Dito ay pinwersa, binaluktot ang batas,” Trillanes told reporters.
According to Trillanes, “ito ay maliwanag na panggigipit ni Mr. Duterte sa mga kritiko niya sa pulitika.”
“Nanaig ang kadiliman at kasamaan sa ating bayan,” Trillanes said.
“Kung anoman mangyayari sa hinaharap ay nasa kamay ng sambayanang Pilipino,” he added.
