Antonio "Sonny" Fuentes Trillanes IV (Tagalog pronunciation: [trilˈjanɛs]; born August 6, 1971)[4] is a retired[5] Philippine naval officer who also served as a senator of the Philippines from 2007 to 2019. He is known for his involvement in the Oakwood mutiny of 2003 and the Manila Peninsula siege in 2007 in protest against the Arroyo administration, and he is a vocal critic of the Duterte administration.

He previously ran as a candidate for vice president in the 2016 Philippine presidential elections. After his term as senator, he became a full-time lecturer, teaching public policy at UP National College of Public Administration and Governance of the University of the Philippines Diliman and at Ateneo de Manila University.[6]
