STANDARD: A lawyer filed charges of treason with the Ombudsman on Friday against President Aquino and Senator Antonio Trillanes for engaging in "backdoor negotiation." with China in the territorial dispute with the Philippines over the Panatag Shoal. Oliver Lozano said the secret negotiations conducted by Trillanes on the orders of Mr. Aquino prejudiced Philippine interests and were intended to benefit China in the dispute. "Surreptitiously negotiating with Chinese officials regarding the Philippines-China dispute in order to benefit China to the prejudice of the Philippines amounted to treason," Lozano said in his complaint.
