\u201cgrateful\u201d that the Supreme Court (SC) has shown \u201csome semblance of independence\u201d with its decision.<\/p>\n\n<p>The SC has denied Trillanes\u2019 petition, seeking to stop President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s proclamation that voided the amnesty granted to him by then former President Benigno Aquino III.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the proclamation, Duterte also ordered Trillanes\u2019 arrest.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a carefully worded decision by the Supreme Court but we are grateful nonetheless that they showed some semblance of independence,\u201d the senator said in a press briefing at the Senate.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThey could have outrightly dismissed the petition altogether but they knew that we presented a strong case and that the proclamation of Mr. Duterte is badly flawed, but nonetheless they gave him a face-saving way out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>As explained by his lawyers, Trillanes said the SC denied his petition but took judicial notice of the pronouncements of both Duterte and the Armed Forces of the Philippines that he would not be arrested without a warrant of arrest.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSo should I go out later or tomorrow and I would be arrested, then it would be in open defiance of such a decision,\u201d said the senator.<\/p>\n\n<p>Asked if he considers the SC\u2019s decision an initial victory for him, Trillanes answered yes.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cDahil alam n\u2019yo itong Supreme Court was heavily suspected of being partial to the Duterte administration but this is the first time they showed some semblance of independence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThey could have outrightly dismiss the whole petition altogether but they took a stand in some way so that\u2019s good enough,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n<p>Trillanes has been holed up in the Senate since Tuesday last week, immediately after Duterte ordered his arrest. \/jpv<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>RELATED STORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a
