President Rodrigo Duterte quoted Bible verse Matthew 7:12 which talks about the Golden Rule as a message to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV who now is holed in his Senate office since Tuesday last week after the president revoked the amnesty granted to him by then President Benigno Simeon Aquino in 2010.
Admitting that he single-handedly targeted Trillanes for Proclamation 572, Duterte said it is his presidential prerogative who to give amnesty, or in Trillanes’ case who to revoke.
