Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV on Wednesday walked out of the Senate
session hall while being questioned by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile on
his role as a backroom negotiator of the Philippines with China.
Trillanes earlier withdrew from the Senate majority, saying he
has lost confidence in Enrile's leadership.
Enrile, however, questioned Trillanes' authority to conduct
backroom talks with Chinese officials. He said Trillanes even called Foreign
Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario a "traitor" for his position on
Scarborough Shoal.
Trillanes refused to answer Enrile's questions and said the
Senate President was out of order.
He then walked out as Enrile started reading the notes of
Philippine Ambassador to China Sonia Brady about his meeting with Trillanes and
del Rosario last August 17.
"He cannot take the heat. He's a coward," Enrile said
as Trillanes walked out.
