Senator, you are under arrest

Another odd situation is roiling Manila. Senator Antonio Trillanes IV faces military arrest and proceedings under the Articles of War for two long-ago mutinies he is said to have been involved in when he was a junior naval officer. President Rodrigo Duterte has withdrawn the Senator's legislative immunity because he allegedly failed to formally apply for amnesty and admit guilt. The facts are disputed, so stay tiuned. This one's highly political and complicated.
