Duterte said he voided Trilla- nes’ amnesty because the sena- tor had failed to file a formal amnesty request and acknow- ledge guilt. Trillanes strongly denied the president’s claims and provided news reports and defense department documents to counter them. The Department of Justice has asked two courts to issue warrants for Trillanes’ arrest and resume criminal procee- dings against him. One of the courts backed Duterte’s bid last month and issued the arrest warrant for a bailable rebellion charge.
