The best proof that Trillanes applied for amnesty is his application form, according to presidential spokesperson Harry Roque. 572 voiding Trillanes’ amnesty, ordering his arrest, and giving instructions for the revival of the rebellion and coup d’état cases against him that were dismissed by the courts in 2011. The military chief also said there were apparently some “lapses” in the handling of documents related to the amnesty. Lorenzana said Calida called him up on Aug. 16 asking if he could help produce the “amnesty records” of Trillanes and several others. Lorenzana said the DND had started to investigate the loss of Trillanes’ amnesty application form and had invited members of the committee that handled the 2011 amnesty grant to shed light on the matter.
