Golez disagrees. He said Trillanes' testimony, for example, has brought out moral issues, including his failure to file a required statement of assets and liabilities -- an infraction punishable by five years imprisonment and permanent disqualification from public office.
Trillanes' admission that eight cars were registered in his name so they would not be in danger of seizure by his mother's creditor was against soldiers' honor code, Golez told reporters. Police filed a graft case against him Friday.
"This is a big moral issue, especially in the case of Lieutenant Trillanes, who has projected himself as the champion in the fight against corruption," Golez said, adding that the revelation may be intimidating other officers into refusing to testify.
