BREAKING: Trillanes issues formal apology to Cayetano

PTV has reported on its Facebook page about the letter of apology that Senator Antonio Trillanes has sent to Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.

It can be remembered that Thursday last week, Trillanes tried to stop Cayetano from interpolating the witness Edgar Matobato who then testified about DDS.

Trillanes shut off the mic of Cayetano to prevent him from being heard. The unruly demeanor received negative reactions from netizens and even prompted 230 PMA alumni to issue a condemnation letter.

The letter was sent to Senator Cayetano on September 19, 2016 at around 9 AM. The offices of Senate President Koko Pimentel and Leila De Lima were also sent copies of the letter.

It reads:

 Dear Senator Cayetano:

This is to express my apologies for my demeanor during last Thursday's hearing of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights. It was brought about because of the intense passion and emotion of the moment. Nonetheless, it was uncalled for.

Be assured that such incident will not happen again.

Check the attached letter below.

After the news of his apology broke out, netizens were quick to cite senate rules which might have compelled Trillanes to issue the apology.
