Following is the transcript of the interview of Senator Antonio Trillanes by Pinky Webb at Mornings at ANC last Friday.

PINKY WEBB: Senator Antonio Trillanes refuses to sign the Senate Committee Report on the Mamasapano. He joins us here in the studio to tell us why. And we will also talk to him about his plans for 2016. Senator, good morning!

SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES IV (SAFT): Good morning Pinky.

WEBB: Alright. The Mamasapano Report gathered 20 signatures from your fellow Senators with reservations, half of them with reservations. There are four who didn’t sign, yourself, Senate President Franklin Drilon, Senator Enrile and Senator Lito Lapid. You were quoted saying that the Senate report was lacking.

Update on Mrs. Domingo’s traumatic experience with policemen

Published by Ellen on May 18, 2010

Remember the incident related by JJ Domingo, a student of international relations in Japan last month when his mother, also based in Japan, came home to attend his sister’s graduation and to seek second opinion of Filipino doctors on her cancer?

To recall, Mrs. Domingo went a friend named Janet who lives in a slum area in Tandang Sora, Quezon City to collect money owed her because she needs money for her medication. She was accompanied by a friend, Maximo Gabriel.

JJ related, “Just when my mother and Gabriel were about to leave Janet’s place, two plain-clothed policemen- one called Allan and another named Mar Palic- approached them, accusing them of drug possession. My mother and her friends aghastly denied this, and before the two cops could search them they showed their bags to the police officers and emptied their pockets to show that there was nothing incriminating inside. Still, the cops ‘invited’ them for questioning.”

Nakakarma na si Gloria Arroyo

Published by Ellen on March 24, 2010

Ang balita kung sino-sino na raw ang kumaka-usap kay Philippine National Police Chief Jesus Versoza na mag-resign para mailagay na ni Gloria Arroyo bilang PNP Chief si NCR Chief Roberto Rosales.

Versoza
Kinausap na siya ni Local Governments Secretary Ronaldo Puno. Pati na raw ang anak ni Gloria Arroyo na si Mikey, congressman ng Pampanga (2nd district) ay kuma-usap na rin kay Versoza.

Sana hindi magpa-pressure si Versoza dahil Disyembre 2010 pa siya dapat mag-retire.

Si Rosales ay kasama sa Class ’78 ng Philippine Military Academy na honorary member si Arroyo.

Galit kasi si Arroyo kay Versoza. Hindi dumalo si Arroyo sa graduation ceremonies ng Philippine National Police Academy noong Marso 18 sa Camp Castañeda, Silang Cavite. Sa anibersaryo naman ng Philippine Army noong Lunes,binati niya ang lahat na mga matataas na opisyal maliban kay Versoza.

Legalizing the illegal

Published by Ellen on March 18, 2010

This is what is disturbing about the Supreme Court decision allowing Gloria Arroyo to make a midnight appointment to succeed Chief Justice Reynato Puno: Arroyo can do anything illegal to stay in power beyond June 2010 and the Supreme Court will give it a mantle of legality.

This is the scenario that we are looking: There will be partial failure of election. Only in the national level. That means no president, vice president and senators would be proclaimed by June 30, 2010.

Since the term of incumbent Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile will end on June 30, there will be no Senate President, who is third in the Constitutional order of succession. (There have been calls for Enrile to do the patriotic act of resigning as senate president so that someone whose term will end in 2013 could be elected senate president but he has refused.)
Meanwhile, there would be proclamation of winners in the local posts including members of the House of Representatives.

There have been reports of Gloria Arroyo subsidizing the campaign of a huge number of congressmen to make sure that she gets elected as speaker.

The speaker of the House is fourth in the line of succession.

Reklamo ng asawa ng pulis

Published by Ellen on December 29, 2008

Update: Nagpaliwanag si Police Senior Supt. Nicanor Bartolome, PNP spokesman sa reklamo ng isang sumulat na gumamit ng pangalan na Juana de la Cruz tungkol sa P7,000 na cash gift. Umaasa sana kasi si De la Cruz na mabigyan din ang mga active officers ng P3,000 na binigay sa mga retired officers.

Sabi ni Col. Bartolome, ang savings lang daw ng PNP ay kasya lang para sa mga retired na kawawa naman dahil mas matanda na sila. Kahit wala na sila sa serbisyo, pinapahalagaan naman ng PNP ang kanilang serbisyo.

Sabi ni Bartolome, 120,000 ang lahat na mga pulis at walang sapat na pera ang PNP para sa dagdag na cash gift.

Natanggap ko itong sulat mula sa isang nangangalang “Juana de la Cruz” at nagsasabing asawa raw siya ng isang pulis. Hindi ito ang kanyang totoong pangalan. Ang mahalaga ay ang isyu na kanyang tinatalakay.

Ito ang kanyang reklamo:
