Terror or cool prof? Trillanes gives teaching a try amid opposition duties

MANILA—More than 30 minutes before his class started, former senator Antonio Trillanes IV was already at the case room, setting up his slides. Projected on the screen in front were the words PA 244: The Policy Process.

At one point, Trillanes said, “As I mentioned during the last hearing . . . ” His students laughed as the former senator corrected himself, amused at his own mistake. Near the end of the class, the former senator said the class was a democracy so his students could vote on whether they should allow cellphones to be used.

With more than a decade spent as a senator, Trillanes said teaching is also his way of revisiting his “theoretical roots.” Montes-Nera said she was curious having Trillanes as a professor because she “heard he did exceptionally well when he was a student at NCPAG.” Meanwhile, full-time student Micah Nazal, who was a sit-in student that day, said he wanted to see Trillanes’ “practitioner’s point of view.”

This perception has changed, she said, as Trillanes made sure to lighten up the mood. “He jokes from time to time. Masaya ang klase namin ,” she said. Meanwhile, Montes-Nera said the former senator was “amiable enough to make us at ease” amid his “commanding presence.”Trillanes said it was his “personal inclination” to “step back a bit and transition to the private sector.”
