Roque on Trillanes: He can do what he wantsMANILA, Philippines — Malacañang yesterday expressed disinterest in former senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s plan to run for president in 2022 if Vice President Leni Robredo does not make a decision by Oct. 8, the last day of filing for the certificate of candidacy. “Why would I give a statement, it’s his life, he can do what he wants,” presidential spokesman Harry Roque said at a media briefing when asked to comment on Trillanes’ remark. Trillanes is one of the vocal critics of President Duterte. We will not let the true opposition lose without a fight,” Trillanes said in Filipino. Trillanes ran for vice president and lost to Robredo in 2016.
