Antonio Trillanes
Antonio "Sonny" Fuentes Trillanes IV (Tagalog pronunciation: [trilˈjanɛs]; born August 6, 1971) is a former Philippine naval officer and politician who served as a senator of the Philippines from 2007 to 2019. He is known for his involvement in the Oakwood mutiny of 2003 and the Manila Peninsula siege in 2007 in protest against the Arroyo administration. He was a prominent critic of the Duterte administration.
Trillanes previously ran for vice president in the 2016 Philippine presidential elections. After his term as senator, he became a full-time lecturer, teaching public policy at UP National College of Public Administration and Governance of the University of the Philippines Diliman and at Ateneo de Manila University.
Trillanes was born on August 6, 1971, in Caloocan, to Navy Capt. Antonio Floranza Trillanes of Ligao, Albay, and Estelita Diaz Fuentes of Capiz. Raised in Caloocan, he has four siblings.
Trillanes attended Siena College of Quezon City for his elementary education, which he completed in 1983. He then attended Angelicum School for his secondary education, completing it in 1987. For his college education, he initially attended De La Salle University for a degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering beginning in 1987. However, in 1991, he decided to enter the Philippine Military Academy, where he graduated cum laude in 1995 with a Naval Systems Engineering degree.
He received his master's degree in Public Administration from the University of the Philippines Diliman.
Trillanes is a recipient of an assortment of merit medals, campaign ribbons and badges totaling 23.
In July 2003, Trillanes, then a Lieutenant Senior Grade, along with Army Capt. Gerardo Gambala, led 321 junior officers and enlisted men of the Armed Forces (AFP) in a mutiny against the Arroyo administration. Calling themselves the "Bagong Katipuneros" (lit. 'New Katipuneros') but tagged by the press as the Magdalo group, the soldiers occupied the Oakwood Premier Ayala Center (now Ascott Makati), a serviced apartment tower in Makati, to protest the alleged corruption of the administration when it came to the military. Among their demands were the resignation of Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes and AFP Chief of Intelligence Service Victor Corpus.
The mutiny was unsuccessful, lasting only 18 hours. Trillanes and his men were charged in a general court martial. He was detained for nearly seven and a half years.
