Bishops join Trillanes, Lim meeting in Makati - reports


Two Catholic bishops critical of the Arroyo administration went to the Manila Peninsula hotel where Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim proceeded after walking out of a Makati City courtroom. Novaliches Bishop Antonio Tobias, Infanta Bishop Emeritus Julio Labayen as well as Fr. Robert Reyes were seen going into the hotel room where Trillanes and Lim held a closed-door meeting, separate reports said. News coverage teams were barred from entering the meeting room, and were told to stay at the third floor lobby. Trillanes' group reportedly assured that journalists will be given updates. Former Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr, a critic of President Arroyo, joined Trillanes and Lim in marching along Makati Avenue from the court room. - GMANews.TV
