DAVAO CITY , Philippines — President Duterte said he is not interested in having Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV arrested. The President said the Armed Forces of the Philippines is also not interested in arresting the senator as it has not constituted the court martial to hear the case of Trillanes. Duterte said as Trillanes’ case is already with the civilian courts, let the case proceed as it should. If I will be arrested then that will be moot and academic, therefore the question would now be on the illegal arrest,” Trillanes said. Legal heavyweights will argue Trillanes’ case before the Supreme Court and the Makati City regional trial courts (RTCs) regarding President Duterte’s Proclamation No.
