A first hand comment was shared by Commodore Vicente Cejoco, AFP, PMA class 1982-2013 Outstanding Filipino Soldiers Awardee (TOPS), an was posted by Ernesto Aquino on his Facebook account.

According to Cejoco, Trillanes was one of the students he handled at PMA (Philippine Military Academy) as an Engineering instructor. He also added that the class of Trillanes belonged to the last PMA cadets he handled.

Back when Vicente was still the Commander of PMA COMMEL(Communication and Electronics) Company and the  COMMEL Staff officer of General Rodolfo “Pong” Gaspar Biazon, he recalled Antonio’s father, who was the Assistant J-6/ Deputy Chief COMMEL AFP,  was being tagged as Dumbguard Trillanes IV to his office after asking the PMA Commandants to release him. 

During the company level punishments or “mase-mass”, Cejoco said that Trillanes Sr. still had the guts to eat in his office while his mistahs were dying in the  hallways of Melchor Hall.

Antonio Sr. became a “dealer-supplier” of various items at GHQ(General Headquarters), AFP, since conversion and ghost deliveries were rampant during those times. Cejoco also added that the AFP-PNP telephone directory publication or DBM SARO (Department of Budget and Management - Special Allotment Release Order) budget was also encashed and lost in a casino and mahjong bet by Antonio Sr. in just a blink of an eye. Because of what Trillanes’ father did, Cojeco was tasked to produce P1.5 million cash for the printing of the AFP Telephone directory.

Vicente admitted that he was unaware of what was happening in his office because he was just new to the office.

“Pagkamalas ko naman, kagaguhan ng Tatay ni Antonio IV ako ang nautusan maghanap ng pera kapalit sa nilustay  ng kanyang tatay... (How unfortunate I was, because of Antinio IV’s father wrong deed, I was assigned to produce money that his father bet in casino)”

Through solicitation from various commercial companies, Cojeco was able to complete his fist task.

“Swerte nya, perang nilustay ng Tatay nya, napalitan, ang kanilang kagaguhan napagtakpan. (He was lucky, I was able to find money to cover up the money that his father gambled)”. 

Cojeco said that Antonio’s mother made a partnership with some crooked PN personnel and encashed SARO. She was also dealer and alleged made magic bidding documents to corner contracts.

SHABBY FAMILY?😱

FIRST HAND COMMENT FROM COMMODORE VICENTE CEJOCO, AFP, PMA CLASS 82- 2013 OUTSTANDING FILIPINO SOLDIERS AWARDEE (TOPS).

"Trillanes belonged to the most junior and last class of PMA cadtes I handled at PMA as instructor in Engineering subjects. His father- Antonio Sr - PMA class 1959 - was the Asst J-6/ Deputy Chief COMMEL, AFP when I was the Commander of PMA COMMEL Company and the COMMEL Staff officer of GEN BIAZON during his stint as PMA Superintendent. 

Antonio Trillanes Sr always called Dumbguard Trillanes IV to report to my office after asking the PMA commandant - General Victor Garcia and General Narciso Abaya to release Antonio IV from any duty during Saturdays and Sundays. 

While his mistahs were dying in the hallways of Melchor Hall during company level punishments or mase-mase, Antonio IV was enjoying in my office cooking and eating lots of boodles along with his 3 room mates. Medyo may pagka shabby/ swapang rin ang mokong na ito. 

Yung tatay at nanay nya ay palagi umaakyat sa Baguio, sa kwarto ko sa office natutulog. Libre lahat - hatid sundo ko, pakain ko, etc. They usually arrive late Friday afternoon and depart early morning of Monday. 

When I reported for duty at the Office of the Chief COMMEL. AFP upon request of the Chief COMMEL, AFP. Antonio Trillanes Sr just retired and was a "dealer-supplier" of various items at GHQ, AFP. 

During those times, conversion and ghost deliveries were rampant and his father was able to convert DBM SARO to cash - the budget intended for AFP-PNP Telephone Directory publication. 

Unfortunately, that money was used as a bet in the casino and mahjong where Antonio Sr lost everything in a blink of an eyelash. 

Being new to the office, I never had any idea of what was going on in my office..... My first task then on my first week of duty was how to produce P 1.5 million cash to print the AFP Telephone directory at the time that the converted cash was already lost from Antonio Sr's gambling activities. 

Pagkamalas ko naman, kagaguhan ng Tatay ni Antonio IV ako ang nautusan maghanap ng pera kapalit sa nilustay ng kanyang tatay...I accomplished my task to produce funds and print the AFP Directory using funds I solicited from various commercial companies. 

This was upon orders of my superiors and all money solicited to the last centavo were properly accounted for. 

Swerte nya, perang nilustay ng Tatay nya, napalitan, ang kanilang kagauhan napagtakpan. 

His mother earned money as a "dealer". She allegedly made magic bidding documents to corner contracts and convert SARO to cash..of course, she did these things in cahoots with some crooked PN personnel.”

SARO is uthorization issued by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to an agency, through Agency Budget Matrix (ABM) or Special Allotment Release Order (SARO), which allows the latter to incur obligation for specified amounts contained in a legislative appropriation. Allotment Class.

When Trillanes IV was asked about these alleged transactions by his parents, Trillanes just said he doesn't know since he was only high school when these happened.
