Trillanes to Robin Padilla: Grow up first before you talk to me
Grow up first before you talk to me.
This was how Senator Antonio Trillanes IV responded on Wednesday to actor Robin Padilla’s challenge to the senator not to hide under the skirt of the Senate.
Trillanes has been holed up in the Senate since Tuesday after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered his arrest through a proclamation, revoking the amnesty granted to the senator by former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III.
“Alam n’yo itong si Robin Padilla, ilang taon na ba ito? Bakit hindi ito tumanda? Hindi ito nag-mature? Para kang nasa High school eh…” the senator said in an interview at the Senate.
“How will I take this guy seriously eh parang high school lang?” Trillanes asked.

“Lumabas ka! Wag kang magtago sa saya ng Senado!” (Get out! Don’t hide under the skirt of the Senate!)” Padilla said.
The Senate leadership has decided not to allow the arrest of Trillanes or any senator inside its premises. /vvp
