Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV arrived in the country on Tuesday morning to face the conspiracy to commit sedition charge filed against him and several others, according to Nimfa Ravelo's report on Dobol B sa News TV.


 Trillanes, who landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, is expected to post the P10,000 bail needed for his temporary liberty before the Quezon City Metropolitan Trial Court at 11 a.m.
He was met by his staff and lawyer Rey Robles.
Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors charged Trillanes and 10 others for allegedly conspiring to link President Rodrigo Duterte and his family to the illegal drug trade "with no other purpose but to inflict an act of hate or revenge" against them.


 A vocal critic of the Duterte administration, Trillanes has described the case "absurd." He accused the administration of weaponizing the law against the political opposition. 
Conspiracy to commit sedition is a less grave offense than sedition and inciting to sedition, which are punishable by longer prison terms. —KBK, GMA News

"Lets just call it what it is and not make any heroes or martyrs out of flawed (possibly criminal) politicians. GMA as Speaker is political expediency. Speaker Alvarez, while good at passing the president's legislation, was hampered by bad relations ...
