How did President Duterte and Senator Trillanes start their differences in Politics?

Philippines – according to several reports in 2015 or 2016 just before the starts of the 2016 Election campaign, then and now Senator Antonio Trillanes IV came to a very popular candidate for the Presidency. 

Then Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of Davao City which at that time is a favorite candidate for becoming the next President of the Philippines. 


Senator Trillanes visits Mayor Duterte and wants to team up with Duterte to run as his Vice President, but Duterte decline Trillanes idea of becoming his running mate for 2016 National Elections and instead chooses Senator Alan Peter Cayetano to become his running mate.

Although Trillanes denied the accusation that he was neglected by Duterte and explain that how come he was neglected by Duterte? If Duterte himself had already announced that he was not running for President that time? But later on Mayor Duterte change his mind and run for the presidency and the rest is history.

Since then, Trillanes became the number 1 critics of Duterte before and after the 2016 National Elections and after 2 years in the office, President Duterte continue to receive an accusation to Senator Trillanes especially of the alleged wrongdoings in politics and how he handles the fight for Drugs and Human rights for drug pusher and user.

Just like Senator Laila de Lima and former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, Senator Trillanes is also on the verge of losing his power after his amnesty was void by President Duterte. De Lima, Sereno and Triallanes are well known critics of Duterte. De Lima is already in Prison after controversial link in drugs while Sereno was removed as Chief Justice.

It’s just a matter of time for Senator Trillanes on how, when and where he will be arrested after his amnesty was voided by the President.

Meanwhile. Did President Duterte did the right moves of silencing his critics? Let’s wait and see these upcoming days on what will happen in this political drama in our country.
