18 senators call for Trillanes’ participation in sessions

Update from Inquirer:Trillanes to file petition anew to post bail

From the Tribune:

Eighteen senators, majority of them are from the ranks of the administration bloc, have joined the opposition in expressing their sentiment toward the current dilemma of detained Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV whom they feel should be allowed to participate in sessions and other Senate functions.

Senate Resolution 22 effectively expressed the law-makers’ position that the chamber can take into its custody Trillanes in order for him to attend and perform his duty as a duly-elected senator of the Republic.

They said this is also to show their support to the petition for bail of Trillanes currently pending before the Makati City Regional Trial Court hearing the Oakwood mutiny case that the Magdalo leader is currently facing.
