Manila, Philippines - Senator Antonio "Sonny" Trillanes IV has been a hot topic on Sunday night, March 9, 2014 after guesting on ABS-CBN's trending comedy variety talk show Gandang Gabi Vice (GGV).
The former Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade admitted on GGV that he does not have much talent to showcase. So, instead of singing or dancing, Trillanes did what many soldiers do best—push-ups.
"Actually, wala talaga ako talent to be honest Vice kaya siguro ang pwedeng kong gawin eh mag-push-up nalang kasi sundalo ako.", Trillanes said.
To make it entertaining, the senator did the push-ups over a thrilled Vice Ganda.

The GGV episode with Trillanes topped Twitter Philippines and Worldwide trending topics Sunday night with "#GGV" and "Sen. Trillanes" on the list.
Trillanes was known for leading the 2003 Oakwood Mutiny when he and some 300 junior officers and enlisted men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines took over the Oakwood towers in Makati City as protest for alleged rampant corruption in the Philippine government.
In the Senate election held in May 2007, Trillanes successfully launched a nationwide campaign from his prison cell as he ran and won a seat in the Philippine Senate. He made history for being the first Philippine senator to be elected while in jail when more than 11 million people voted him into office on a strong anti-corruption advocacy.
