MANILA - Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV on Friday said his police security detail has been recalled.

"Yes...Rinecall daw sila...As far as I know since end of June pa eh," Trillanes said on the sidelines of an opposition event in Quezon City.

This, after a netizen said the police escorts of slain Mayor Tanauan City Mayor Antonio Halili were also removed before he was killed.

Halili's deputized police were removed from in last 2017.

Trillanes, meanwhile, told his supporters not to worry.

"Wag silang mag-alala dahil siguro by this time I know how to take care of myself...Kung oras mo oras mo. Subukan lang nila. Kilala ko si Duterte by now. Duwag yan," he said.
