(Eagle News)–Senator Antonio Trillanes IV refused to apologize to Solicitor Generl Jose Calida, saying the lawyer was “in no position to demand anything.”
“Alam ng buong Pilipinas at this point ‘yung katotohanan…Ngayon, kung ano man ang plano niyang gawin. I expect the worst out of him so he can do whatever he wants,” Trillanes said.
Earlier in the day, Calida demanded a “sincere apology” from Trillanes for calling him a thief.
“Meron pang statement si (Defense) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana na hiningi ni Calida ‘yung amnesty documents ko. Kung hindi ako nag-apply e ano ang ibibigay nila. Maliwanag na kung meron mang nagtago o nagsira ng mga application documents ko e itong si Mr. Calida,” Trillanes had said.
Calida has said he would sue the senator for libel if he did not get the apology from him.
