Nobody is interested to arrest to Senator Antonio trillanes IV, President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday, as the former Navy officer remains wary that he would be arrested if he leaves the Senate building in Pasay City. ADVERTISEMENTTrillanes has been holed up in the Senate for more than a week now since Duterte issued Proclamation No. During a Cabinet meeting in Jordan last week, Mr. Duterte said he would “abide by the rule of law” and wait for the court to issue a warrant before Trillanes is arrested.

ADVERTISEMENTThe Makati Regional Trial Court has deferred the issuance of a warrant of arrest against Trillanes as it asked the senator to provide supplemental comments and a rejoinder to the DOJ’s petition for an arrest warrant.
