FACT or OPINION: Aguirre to Trillanes and Aquino in Marawi City before the Crisis arises; DTI confirms that Aquino is in Marawi City to launch ARMM's first Negosyo Center.

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II has tagged minority Senators Antonio Trillanes IV and Bam Aquino in the terrorist rampage in Marawi City, saying the incident could be part of a destabilization plot. Photo credits to owner.

Aguirre said the two Senators, along with Magdalo party-list Representative Gary Alejano and Ronald Llamas, political adviser of former president Benigno Aquino III, met with families in Marawi City on May 2, three weeks before the crisis started.

ABS-CBN has reached out to Trillanes and Aquino for their response.

On May 25, Aquino shared on his official Twitter account a post by the Department of Trade Industry explaining why he visited Marawi City amid "misinformation" on the circumstances of his trip to the southern city.

The DTI said in its post that Aquino traveled to the city to take part in the launch of a Negosyo Center there.

The Senate minority, dominated by members of the opposition Liberal Party, has several times denied that it was plotting to oust President Rodrigo Duterte.

And how about Trillanes anong ginawa niya dun? Dapat ba natin paniwalaan to?

Clashes between government troops and the Islamic State-backed Maute and Abu Sayyaf groups began in Marawi City on May 23 as troops attempted to arrest Isnilon Hapilon, an Abu Sayyaf leader known as the anointed ISIS leader in Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, a video was released showing Hapilon and members of the group plotting its attack to Marawi. View full video below:
