MANILA - The fight against President Rodrigo Duterte&#x27;s move to invalidate his amnesty would be a &quot;golden chance&quot; for Sen. Antonio Trillanes to point out flaws in the present government, a retired military official who investigated the Oakwood mutiny said Friday.It would be up to the soldier-turned-lawmaker to &quot;disprove&quot; the allegations made by Duterte in Proclamation 572, which voided the amnesty granted to him, said Commodore Rex Robles, member of the Feliciano Commission.&quot;This is a golden chance for Trillanes to show that there is something wrong with the government by saying, ‘I have all these papers. What is he talking about? He is stupid’ or whatever,&quot; he told ANC&#x27;s Early Edition.Robles also called out Trillanes for regularly calling press conferences instead of showing the documents pertaining to his amnesty at &quot;close range.&quot;&quot;Merong paper trail &#x27;yan up to approval. He just has to show it to people and shut up, get some sleep. Namumutla na siya sa kaka-rason. Ang kaniyang itsura, nasisira ang image niya na matapang siya,&quot; he said.Trillanes was among the military officials who trooped to the Oakwood building in Makati City in 2003 to demand the resignation of officials of the administration of then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. He would also later join the protest at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in 2007 against alleged corruption.Arroyo&#x27;s successor, Benigno Aquino III, granted amnesty to Trillanes and several other military rebels in 2011.Duterte&#x27;s order invalidated this amnesty because the lawmaker supposedly failed to submit an official application form and apologize for the crimes he committed.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/04/18/trillanes-amnesty-revoked-senator-faces-charges-arrest">Trillanes amnesty voided; senator faces charges, arrest</a></li></ul>
