KAPA Brings Hope to Trillanes
Sitting on his chair inside his office and counting days before his time in the Senate will be over, outgoing Senator Antonio Trillanes sees light at the end of the tunnel.
After several failed attempts to dethrone President Rodrigo Duterte, Trillanes said will try his last and final shot to file an impeachment case against the president using the Kapa issue.
The senator said he will not be alone in doing this and will have the back of millions of Kapa members.
“Para sa mga lider at miyembro ng Kapa, mag-file ng kasong impeachment laban kay Duterte for culpable violation of the Constitution (i.e. Art. II, Sec. 6) dahil sa pagbalewala nito sa kanilang religious freedom,” Trillanes said in a press statement.
He said if it is true that Kapa is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a religious organization and the supposed investments were stated as donations, the government has no right to stop them even if it looks like a Ponzi scheme.
“Karapatan ng isang miyembro na i-donate kahit lahat ng kanyang pera sa kanyang simbahan. Kahit wala itong resibo at hindi ito puwede buwisan. Kahit pa na mukha ngang Ponzi scheme ang pamamalakad ng Kapa, basta maliwanag sa mga miyembro nito na kung sakaling hindi bumalik ang kanilang pera, hindi sila puwedeng magreklamo dahil nga, simula't sapul ito ay kanilang "donation" sa kanilang simbahan,” he said.
He also said that if it is true that there are no private complainants against Kapa, the government cannot file a syndicated estafa case against it.
He asked where and how much were the money confiscated from Kapa and if there is a liquidation and distribution plan to return these to the members.
Trillanes said the government should allow Kapa to operate, for at least 30 days, while the investigation is ongoing to allow it to return the money of their members.
The senator also said that whether he will fail or succeed this time, he will have no more regret as he already did all he can do to counter Duterte.
"I hope it will work this time," he said.
