Re-electionist Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV said issues related to
former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would be among
those he would tackle during his campaign.
Trillanes, who led two failed uprisings against Arroyo when she
was President and he was a Navy officer, said there was still a need to remain
vigilant about the former chief executive because her influence and supporters are
still in the bureaucracy.
“That would still be there because the tentacles of [Arroyo] are
still rooted in the bureaucracy, which is why we our weeding it out,’’ he told
reporters.
He said in seeking a second term, he would revalidate his mandate
and hoped that those who voted for him in 2007 would see that he had fulfilled
his duties when he was in the Senate.
Trillanes also said he was not afraid that Senate President Juan
Ponce Enrile Sr. would derail him during the campaign.
“I trust the people more. Sen. Enrile can do what
he wants to do. I can’t control it. But I’m not afraid of him. I know him, his
personality. He’s afraid of [Arroyo], so why would I be afraid of him?” Trillanes
said. he said.
