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.

A lesson in Separation of Church and State…

 

Trillanes’ Jail Cell Being Readied By PNP

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.
