TRILLANES THE PUBLICITY SEEKER!

This is the picture behind the PUBLICITY HOUND, OR SEEKER, in  Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and the HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE TALES he comes out with just to land in the newspapers.

Trillanes now says that hen Makati Mayor, Jejomar Binay had conspired with his  Magdalo group of renegade soldiers in an attempt to overthrow then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2007.

In a story in inqurer.net, Trillanes alleged that Binay failed to produce a crowd of supporters for his group after they walked out of a court hearing to seek Arroyo’s ouster.

Trillanes claimed that in a meeting in the office of the trial judge, Binay promised to mobilize the employees of Makati City Hall, the urban poor, the students of the University of Makati, Makati traffic enforcers and police to support them.

But when they walked out of their trial, Trillanes said neither Binay nor his supporters were in sight.

Point No. 1:  Unless it could be proven that he was stupid enough to do so, Binay would not even dream of co-organizing a coup then against GMA because he knows he DID NOT ENJOY NATIONAL POPULARITY THAT CAN ATTRACT THE SUPPORT OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS.

Point No. 2: Even high school students are aware that no one can successfully lead a coup with only the residents of just a medium-sized city like Makati

Point No. 3: Being in the Opposition then, Binay was surely aware that he did not have enough influence to escape criminal liability for a coup that was more likely to fail than succeed.

Point No. 4: Trillanes did not cite any reward or gain for Binay should the coup succeed. And no veteran lawyer-politician like Binay would dare join a coup without anything concrete in return.

Unless, as I had said earlier, Trillanes can prove that Binay was stupid enough to do so.  Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.

But consider this, ladies and gentlemen: Trillanes has been coming out in media NON-STOP with all sorts of allegations against Binay, and to date HAS NOT PROVEN ANYTHING BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT.

Neither has he presented any INDISPUTABLE PROOF of his claims. And one thing for sure, he’s not in the Senate just to attack Binay.

If Trillanes has the stomach this early to attack the reputation of anybody anytime he wishes to even without rock-solid evidence, what more if he would be elected to higher office?

I repeat, I am not trying to defend Binay. Neither am I working for the vice-president in any capacity whatsoever.  Anybody can verify this anytime.30
