Antonio Trillanes IV arraignment on grave threat case reset

MANILA, Philippines — The arraignment of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV on the grave threat complaint filed against him by Labor Undersecretary Jacinto Paras before a Pasay City court has been reset.

Trillanes was supposed to be arraigned yesterday before acting Presiding Judge Joeven Dellosa of the Pasay City Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 47.

The court deferred the arraignment pending the resolution of Trillanes’ motion for reconsideration.

Dellosa rescheduled the arraignment on March 29.

Paras filed the case in November last year after Trillanes allegedly threatened him when he and Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III attended a hearing by the Senate committee on overseas Filipino workers.

Paras claimed that Trillanes’ threat caused him “fear and anxiety.”
