Pulpol Power: Trillanes Supporters Swarm Senate Building

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In what was hoped to be another show of “people power,” supporters of embattled Senator Antonio Trillanes swarmed the Senate Building to come to the rescue of their Magdalo idol.

Facebook Messenger subscribers received an urgent  appeal earlier this week to show up at the Senate in anticipation of the arrest of Trillanes whose amnesty for his past failed coup attempts was revoked by President Rodrigo Duterte.

(Trillanes has been holed up in Sanctuary at the Senate Building since Duterte revoked hi amnesty and ordered his arrest.)

The cryptic message was a “call to arms” or at the very least, a “call to swarm.”

Well, supporters did swarm the Senate Building, as shown by this exclusive photo (ctto) posted on the Internet:

Senator Trillanes Asks To Be Transferred To Manila Pen

Today, Trillanes formally requested Senate President Tito Sotto to arrange for his immediate transfer to the Peninsula Hotel.  Manila Pen was the site of the 2007 siege staged by Trillanes and the Magdalo group when they sought for the ouster of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Trillanes told The Adobo Chronicles that he feels more comfortable at the Manila Pen because it has all the facilities and amenities that are lacking in the Senate Building. “It’ll be nice to have hot showers, a comfortable bed and breakfast buffets while awaiting for my eventual arrest,” he said.
