In an unprecedented move, Sen. Trillanes filed a case before the Office of the Ombudsman against Peping Cojuangco, among others. The case finally sets the two personalities on an explosive head-on collision.
Sen. Trillanes was elected president of TATAP in 2011. But the absence of a POC representative during the election put a question on its validity. Worse, POC recognized another group as the duly-elected officers of TATAP. Sen. Trillanes and his group filed a case in a regional trial court to stop the other group from presenting itself as the legitimate officers of TATAP. To this day, the case is yet to be decided.
With Sen. Trillanes not recognized by POC as TATAP president, he cannot run against Peping Cojuangco for the position of POC president. The much-awaited electoral battle between Sen. Trillanes and Peping Cojuangco never happened because of this.
But there is no stopping now the volatile clash between Sen. Trillanes and POC President Couangco. Cojuangco definitely has the support of PSC and his friends from various NSA's. Sen. Trillanes has the support of the public and NSA's that have had enough of Cojuangco's maneuverings in sports. In view of the public indignation with PDAF and pork barrel, Sen. Trillanes might just pull a big upset.
