OSG going to CA for Trillanes arrest warrant

THE OFFICE of the Solicitor General (OSG) is going to the Court of Appeals (CA) after a Makati City court denied its motion for reconsideration on the denial of an arrest warrant and travel ban against Sen. Antonio F. Triallanes IV over his coup d’etat case. In a press conference on Monday, Justice Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra said the OSG will file the petition for certiorari “maybe early January,” which is within the reglementary period of 60 days from the denial of the DoJ’s motion. “(I)mmediately after that (the denial), we held a conference, the DoJ with the Office of the Solicitor General, to map out our strategy after that trial court’s resolution,” Mr. Guevarra said. — Vann Marlo M.
