Suarez issued the warrants after the Department of Justice, through Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Olivia Torrevillas, filed on Monday charges of conspiracy to commit sedition after the accused purportedly circulated “malicious and scurrilous libels” against the President and his family.Trillanes, who was out of the country on Friday, said he would post bail once he returns next week.
Trillanes faces two sedition charges. Lawyers Manny Luna and Jacinto Paras filed the first case in 2017 in Pasay City after Trillanes said in a Senate speech that soldiers could use M60 guns on the President. One of the 36, Rodel Jayme, the creator of the Metrobalita.net website where the videos were posted, was arrested and charged with inciting to sedition before Parañaque Regional Trial Court Branch 258 where the case is still pending. Jayme is detained at the city jail.In filing the charges on Monday, Torrevillas said the department cleared 25 of the 36 of the charge of sedition because of lack of evidence.
Torrevillas explained that the charge of conspiring to commit sedition was easier to prove in court because mere agreement to act together for a common illicit cause was enough to secure a conviction even without having to commit overt acts of sedition.Under the Revised Penal Code, conspiracy to commit sedition is punishable with prision correccional, or imprisonment of two to four years plus a fine of P2,000.
