‘It could’ve been worse.’ADVERTISEMENTThis was what the camp of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said Tuesday after the Supreme Court (SC) denied the mutineer-turned-lawmaker’s petition for the issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction and/or temporary restraining order to stop the implementation of President Rodrigo Duterte’s Proclamation No. READ: Trillanes fails to get relief from SC“We are gratified with the decision of the Supreme Court,” Atty. “I think it is one of the best outcomes that we could hope for under the circumstances,” he added. In denying Trillanes’ petition, the SC noted the pronouncement of Mr. Duterte that Trillanes would not be apprehended without a warrant of arrest issued by the lower court. “Thus, there is no extreme and urgent necessity for the Court to issue an injunctive relief considering that the respondents have acknowledged Senator Trillanes’ right to due process,” the SC said.
