The proclamation states that the amnesty granted to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV during the administration of Benigno Aquino III was “void ab initio” or invalid from the beginning as the senator supposedly failed to comply with two requirements for the granting of amnesty: (1) application for amnesty and (2) admission of guilt.
The document also orders the military and police to apprehend Trillanes and bring him to a detention facility.

(1) It’s true that incidents of harassment of Filipino fishermen in Panatag Shoal also happened during the Aquino administration. It’s precisely one of the reasons why PNoy decided to go to arbitration.

(2) To use this point is another tactic to deflect from the administration’s seeming refusal to do anything to offend China. Paghuhugas kamay ito para sa lantarang pambabastos ng Chinese Coast Guard.

(3) Ngayong binabandera nila yung friendlier relations, ang tanong: tumigil ba ang militarisasyon ng China sa West Philippine Sea? Hinde. Tumigil ba ang harassment nila sa ating mga mangingisda?
