The gripe sessions progressed to a recruitment process. Two meetings were held in Metro Manila, one in Robinson’s Galleria Suites in Mandaluyong on June 4, 2003 and another in an old house in San Juan on June 12, 2003. A photograph taken in one of these meetings, which was released to the press by the Presidential Security Group (PSG), shows Trillanes and a person who appears to be Honasan standing before the Philippine flag and a flag or streamer with the Magdalo countersign.
