Some mediamen shoved into police bus

Authorities also loaded some reporters and photojournalists onto a separate police bus after they failed to convince police they are members of media organizations, radio DZBB reported.

Among those rounded up was Raul Esperas of radio DWIZ and several photographers.

Earlier police accompanied Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV into a police van and will reportedly be taken back into his quarters at the Philippine Marine Corps headquarters in Taguig City.

Television footage also showed former Vice President Teofisto Guingona Jr, who was smiling before the crowd outside the Manila Peninsula hotel, was boarded on the same vehicle.

He was followed by Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim, who along with Trillanes led a protest march earlier in the day from a Makati courtroom to the Manila Peninsula.

The hands of both Guingona and Lim were bound.

Two members of the Catholic church, Fr Robert Reyes and Bishop Julio Labayen, were also boarded onto the bus.
