For the second time, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV is battling the country’s leader and faces the possibility of imprisonment. And it took us seven years before we were able to get out,” Trillanes said in an interview at his office on Wednesday night. Trillanes was first jailed in 2003 after leading some 300 junior military officers comprising the Magdalo group against Arroyo, denouncing alleged massive corruption in her government. He is now facing a possible return to jail after Mr. Duterte voided his amnesty on the grounds that he did not submit an application and admit his guilt. Describing himself as fatalist, Trillanes said he was preparing for the worst because Mr. Duterte wanted him behind bars at whatever cost.
