DASMARIÑAS CITY – Senator Grace Poe took a jab at the Duterte administration’s handling of the amnesty granted to but later revoked from Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. “Dito pala sa ating bansa, pag nawawala, wala nang bisa … parang (In our country, when something gets lost, its validity disappears, like) amnesty,” Poe added. President Duterte had ordered the arrest of Trillanes, a known administration critic, after revoking the amnesty earlier granted to the former mutineer. Malacañang had said that the amnesty was void as it could not produce a copy of Trillanes’ application. The Palace later took back the arrest order until a court issues a warrant.
