Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Undersecretary Jacinto \u201cJing\u201d Paras filed criminal complaints against Senator Antonio Trillanes IV for his alleged verbal attacks.<\/p>\n

According to Paras, the Senator threatened him on May 29 during a break from a Senate session, which prompted him to file grave threats complaint against Trillanes before the Pasay City Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cSabi niya<\/em> \u2018Yayariin kita. Ang lakas ng loob mo! \u2018Yung amo mo matatapos din \u2018yan at yayariin kita. Mersenaryo ka. Yayariin kita<\/em> (He said \u2018I will end you. You have the guts! Your boss will end and I will end you. You are a mercenary. I will end you),\u2019\u201d the undersecretary told the media on June 6, 2018.<\/p>\n

Paras\u2019s narration said that he only smiled at Trillanes\u2019s words, to which the senator repeated his threat of \u201cending him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said that Senator Miguel Zubiri interfered between the two and calmed down his co-senator. However, Paras crossed paths with Trillanes again near the elevator and received the same threat.<\/p>\n

The Labor Undersecretary and former Negros Oriental representative also labeled Trillanes as a \u201cnotorious troublemaker\u201d after quarreling with a lot of politicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd with resources as a senator and his connections with the military being a retired Navy officer, his threat against me can be easily realized by him,\u201d he cited in his six-page complaint.<\/p>\n

Trillanes in a statement hours later the filing of complaint denied Paras\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalang katotohanan \u2018yan<\/em> (There is no truth in that). Paras has the zero-capability of a cellphone thief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trillanes was referring to the complaint filed by Akbayan party-list Representative Tom Villarin against Paras for allegedly stealing his phone during a House of Representatives session back in March. Paras has denied the allegation.<\/p>\n

The respondent senator said that this is some form of harassment by the allies of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.<\/p>\n

\u201cGanun pa man, haharapin ko \u2018yan. Pero makikita natin dito na gagawin lahat ng mga alagad ni <\/em>Duterte para ma<\/em>-distract o ma<\/em>-harass ang mga taga-oposisyon<\/em> (However if that is the case, I will face it. But we see in this situation that Duterte\u2019s allies will really do anything to distract and harass those from the opposition),\u201d Trillanes added.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time for Paras to file a complaint against Trillanes as he was one of the four lawyers who filed cases of graft, inciting to sedition, and proposal to commit coup d’etat against the Senator in November.<\/p>\n
