Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has issued a strong statement following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, warning that the incident should serve as a lesson in leadership and accountability.
Trillanes emphasized that those in power must govern responsibly, ensuring that their actions contribute to the nation’s progress rather than personal or political gain. “Leaders should use their power for the betterment of the people, not for personal interests,” he stated.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates about the rule of law and the responsibility of public officials. Duterte’s arrest has sparked both outrage and support, further fueling discussions on governance, justice, and the country’s legal system.
As the case unfolds, Trillanes’ warning serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of leadership choices and the importance of accountability in public service.
