Senator Antonio Trillanes IV will run for a higher position in the 2016 elections but did not disclose which position he is eyeing.

“Kung anong posisyon yun specifically, we will abide by the Nacionalista Party,” he said in a “24 Oras” report aired on Saturday.

He said that former senator Manuel Villar Jr., party president, has said the NP will make that decision in December.

Trillanes is serving his second term at the Senate.

A former Navy officer, Trillanes ran for the Senate in 2007 while detained over his participation in mutinies against the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

In 2010, President Benigno Aquino III signed a proclamation granting him and other members of the Magdalo amnesty for joining the 2003 Oakwood Mutiny, February 2006 Marine standoff and the 2007 Manila Peninsula incident.

He joined the Nacionalista Party in 2012 and ran under the Liberal Party-led Team Pnoy coalition in the 2013 elections. — JDS, GMA News
