ADVERTISEMENTGalvez said the amnesty officer, Col. Josefa Berbigal, who had submitted an affidavit attesting to Trillanes’ application, handled the process at the military’s general headquarters. Galvez’s statement, based on Berbigal’s affidavit, contradicted President Rodrigo Duterte’s reasons for voiding Trillanes’ amnesty. ADVERTISEMENTThe President said he voided Trillanes’ amnesty and ordered his arrest because the senator had failed to file a formal amnesty application and acknowledge guilt. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told the Senate on Tuesday that the defense department had opened an investigation into the loss of Trillanes’ amnesty application form. “Let me be the last casualty” of injustice,” Trillanes told Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, who was at the hearing.
