SENATOR Antonio Trillanes IV is facing a second ethics complaint for allegedly issuing disrespectful and unparliamentary statements against the Senate, according to a colleague. Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito said Trillanes was not only becoming “damaging” to the institution but also becoming destructive to the country. “Maybe it is high time that we refer to the Senate ethics committee Sen. Trillanes’ actions since he is becoming damaging to the institution, and becoming destructive to the country,” Ejercito said on Tuesday. Trillanes, for his part, said that he would welcome any ethics complaint against him but insisted that there was really something wrong with the Senate. The compliant is still pending before the Senate ethics committee headed by Majority Leader Vicente Sotto 3rd.
