QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There’s no more room at the Inn, so the Philippine National Police (PNP) has come up with a solution to accommodate Senator Antonio Trillanes when he is finally arrested and jailed.
President Rodrigo Duterte recently revoked the amnesty granted to Trillanes by the President NoyNoy Aquino. Trillanes was in jail because of two failed coup attempts. (As of press time, Trillanes has sought sanctuary inside the Senate Building).
PNP says that Trillanes will be housed in the same building where Senator Leila De Lima is now incarcerated. A new partition is being built to convert De Lima’s jail cell into two separate units, the other to be occupied by Trillanes.
The Adobo Chronilces learned that there will be no access between the two divided units. However, the partition is thin enough to allow De Lima and Trillanes to converse from either side of the wall.
Two’s a company and that’s good to keep either Senator’s sanity.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Antonio Trillanes has no hurt feelings towards President Rodrigo Duterte — despite the latter’s recent proclamation revoking the amnesty granted to the Senator and ordering his arrest.
The amnesty granted to Trillanes by ex-Presient NoyNoy Aquino was in connection with the Senator’s failed coup attempts in the past.
In a statement posted on his Twitter account, Trillanes hinted that Duterte is nearing sainthood (‘malapit na itong is Duterte’).
This is the first time that Trillanes made a public statement in favor of the President.
If Trillanes’ wish would come true, Duterte’s sainthood could preempt moves to make Cory Aquino the next Filipino saint. That hasn’t gone anywhere far.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Leila De Lima today said that she doesn’t want her fellow Senator Antonio Trillanes jailed.
De Lima was reacting to news reports that President Duterte has ‘revoked’ the amnesty granted to Trillanes by NoyNoy Aquino. The revocation of the amnesty opens up the possibility that Trillanes will be back in jail for two faiiled mutinees.
But unlike most of Duterte’s critics, De Lima has a different reason for coming to the defense of Trillanes.
De Lima told The Adobo Chronicles that if Trillanes ends up in jail, then she will no longer be the poster girl for political persecution. She fears being overshadowed by Trillanes. “This will absolutely deminish my stature as the highest Philippine Opposition political figure targeted by Duterte. It will also affect international human rights awards and plaques that I could be receiving in the future.”
