One of the mutiny's leaders, Lieutenant Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes, said yesterday he was not happy with the outcome and that he was leaving his fate to his superiors.

"I doubt if true reforms can be implemented," he said. "These people will not change, despite what has happened."

Asked if he would remain with the service if cleared, he said: "I'm not sure right now. I do not want to be part of an organization which refuses to reform."
