Trillanes leaves room, goes to hotel lobby

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV walked down to the Manila Peninsula Hotel ground floor lobby after hours of staying at a second floor function room where he and Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim held a closed-door meeting.

He went down at 3:30 p.m., about half an hour after the 3 p.m. deadline imposed by the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) for their surrender.

"Don't let the guests leave. Don't restrain them," Trillanes said in Filipino. He gave no other statement.

The NCRPO had ordered that all the guests leave the hotel. - GMANews.TV
