They have their sights on former opposition senator Antonio
Trillanes IV and several others for the crime of conspiracy to commit sedition.
They find what they have as against them is strong.
The prosecutors of the Department of justice said they are
very confident that they have a case against the former senator, who happens to
be one of the fiercest critic of the President.
"We discussed all the evidence and we will not file
cases against anyone if we don't have evidence," Senior Assistant State
Prosecutor Olivia Laroza-Torrevillas

Trillanes and several others were accused by the Philippine
National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) before
the Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court of manufacturing propaganda online
against President Rodrigo Duterte (Ang Totoong
Narcolist) and the first family, weeks preceding the senatorial elections in
May last year.
"We are only doing our jobs. We assured everybody if
there is no evidence against you, do not worry the panel is fair, the DOJ is
fair," Torrevillas said.
DOJ dismissed the cases of the other respondents including Vice
President Leni Robredo and other opposition figures, said pieces of evidence
including the testimony of whistleblower Joemel Advincula a.k.a. Bikoy during
their preliminary investigation was their sole consideration in coming out with
a resolution.
"We are only doing our jobs. We assured everybody if
there is no evidence against you, do not worry the panel is fair, the DOJ is
fair," Torrevillas said.
Aside from Trillanes, also charged were
Peter Joemel Advincula, the man who introduced himself as "Bikoy" in
the "Ang Totoong Narcolist" videos released during the 2019 election
campaign period; Jonnel P. Sangalang, Yolanda Ong, Fr. Flaviano Villanueva, Fr.
Albert E. Alejo, Vicente R. Romano III, film actor Joel Saracho, Eduardo
Acierto, publicist Boom Enriquez, and a certain “Monique”.
The complaint alleged that Trillanes and
the others are involved in "circulating malicious and scurrilous libels
and fabricating evidence against him and his immediate family members, making
it appear that the president and his family are engaged in a drug trade
syndicate, with no other purpose but to inflict an act of hate or revenge
against the president and his immediate family members."
