The camp of Rodrigo Duterte has filed treason and espionage charges against President Benigno Aquino III and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV for undertaking “back-channel talks” with China that “only advanced [the] interest of our Asian neighbor.”
Martin Diño, Duterte’s national campaign manager, announced Friday’s filing of the treason and espionage charges by supporters of the Davao mayor in the Office of the Ombudsman, at a press conference at Club Filipino in San Juan City.
The filing came as Trillanes publicly accused Duterte, the front-runner in the presidential race, of having millions of pesos in undeclared bank accounts.

The complaint said “Senator Trillanes met with the Chinese 16 times, and he requested that the meeting [be] secret. In those meetings, Trillanes made mention that the Philippines cannot enforce coastal protection. And that made the Chinese take an aggressive [stance] and take over our areas like Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands. That alone constitutes treason,” former Rep. Ronald Adamat, one of the complainants, said, quoting from supposed notes made by former Philippine Ambassador to China Sonia Brady.
Although the complaint recognized that under the law, treason requires that the Philippines be involved in a war, it said “external aggression” was committed by China when it “immediately occupied the subject areas.”
As for the charge of espionage, the complaint said China had been “emboldened” by the information “gathered from” Trillanes.
“We include the President because Trillanes could not have done this without the order of the President. They breached international policy. They did it without coursing their efforts through the foreign affairs department,” Adamat said.

Aquino on treason raps: Do you want us to be hostile to China?

"It is primarily a misdirection. Duterte knows that my message struck him at the heart of his fraudulent image so he is trying to smear my name as the messenger. It also showed his gross ignorance about the issue. Scarborough or Panatag Shoal is different from the Spratlys or Kalayaan Island Group. They are hundreds of miles apart. I have been appointed by PNoy as a backchannel negotiator to deescalate the tense situation in Panatag back in 2012. I was able to accomplish my mission, within the authority given to me by the President and without compromising our territorial claim, which is now the main subject of our Arbitration case. Just to inform Mayor Duterte, there is no reclamation in Panatag and I have our National Security officials on record during two Senate hearings that we have not lost Panatag contrary to some unfounded media reports. Moreover, I don't have anything to do with the reclamation by China of some islands in the Spratlys because it came long after I have finished my job in the Scarborough standoff. On the contrary, I have been at the forefront of the AFP modernization and the immediate implementation of the EDCA so we could find some balance in the security situation in the West Philippine Sea."

"Hindi totoo that we have lost Scarborough Shoal," Trillanes said. "Tinanong ko mismo sa mga defense and security officials ng ating bansa kung nawala na ba sa atin ang Scarborough, at lahat sila sinasabi hindi."

"Scarborough is still ours and it is still the main subject of our arbitration complaint," added Trillanes, who chairs the Senate committee on national defense and security and a vocal critic of Duterte.

PNoy, Trillanes...time to face the firing squad.

though i agree with you bai æRLO nga e.firing squad ni silang PNoy ug Trillanes


but it will be good unahon o dunganon kaha silang tanan ni Panday Bong Revilla, Estribo Gang Jinggoy Estrada ug Napoles Tax


kay murag unfair man sab nilang PNoy ug Trillanes if e.firing squad silang duha dayon silang Panday Bong Revilla, Estribo Gang Jinggoy Estrada ug Napoles Tax dili e.firing squad

Was there any explanation at all ngano gi develop sa China ang mga isla nga sakop sa atong 'territory'? How that does area still ours if nag himo na ug base ang China didto..? Anyone know the explanation?

hmmmmmmm


miembro na pud ka sa mga tapolanes wa mu-backread ug diretso lang pangutana as questions like yours has been answered many and explained in details


Was there any explanation at all ngano gi develop sa China ang mga isla nga sakop sa atong 'territory'?


IMHO ila ta giunhan sa maong area kay nahadlok China considering nasud kini sa EEZ sa Ph


then knowing kabalo China nga we don't have the financial capability yet to develop the area so move dayon sila



How that does area still ours if nag himo na ug base ang China didto..?


as of the moment, it's still ours based on EEZ ... China only based it's claimed solely on the named 'South China Sea' in which they have only added it to there map late 40s or early 50s


unlike ours nga panahon pa sa mga Spanish kay nasud na sa map


lastly, China also has take advantage of our weak military arms, as well, ilang gibutangan permanent structures so they can claimed it as there own knowing it's only a shoal that's not habitable. so by putting those garrison-like edifice, China was able to solidify it's claimed nga ilaha gyud as it's now already an island and not a shoal


it's very sad to note and what is upsetting is that China is signatory to UNCLOS yet they disrespect other nations who have signed of it as China have ignored what is written on it ... though UNCLOS is helpless as it has no police power to impose it's ruling if it's favorable to Ph but it will be good for us in terms of rights as we have also reinforce our claims
