MANILA, Philippines — The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) is willing to take custody today of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, who was ordered arrested by a regional trial court (RTC) on four counts of libel filed against him by former Davao City vice mayor Paolo Duterte. In a statement before the media earlier, Trillanes expressed willingness to turn himself in so he could post bail. “We shall be coordinating with the office of the Senate Sergeant at Arms on this matter. If the senator wishes to turn himself to us, then we will get him from the Senate,” said NCRPO chief Director Guillermo Eleazar. Eleazar admitted that they have copies of the arrest warrants issued by the Davao City RTC Branch 54.
