Oust Plot Against President Duterte: Keep An Eye On These Three Groups

MANILA, Philippins (September 11) – “Flawed advocates of military welfare.” This is what describes Trillianes by President Rodrigo Duterte as he arrives at the Philippines after his visit to the Middle East. “It was all Trillianes pretending to be a crusading soldier when as a matter of fact wala naman silang ginawa. He not only abandoned the vision of the military, he became a corrupt guy collecting dyan sa mga negosyante. Para syang abogado…”

According to President Duterte, Antonio Trillianes also belong in a group that is planning to oust him on this coming October. President Duterte also said – “….yang tatlong yan, bantayan ninyo. Yang Yellow Liberals, Trillianes, pati ang Politburo, they have a (coalition). We will show it to you…”

English Translation: ”That three group, watch them. The Yellow Liberals, Trillianes, and Politburo.”

The report also said that President Duterte has a source of information outside the country related on the threat against his administration. Duterte – “….it is being supplied by foreign power, hindi dito. Pero Kung gusto ninyong malaman, kayong mga military…yung may mga matatag na ideals ninyo, tanongin ninyo ang inyong intelligence community.”

The Armed Forces of the Philippines revealed the plot to oust President Duterte to be carried out in October 2018. This was based on the information and evidence from the NPAs (National People’s Army) who already surrendered in the administration.

According to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, It is true that there is a destabilization plot against the President but it is not the Military who is behind this. Def Sec Delfin Lorenzana – “….totoo yang destabilization...”.

Meanwhile, the Liberal party reacted on the accusation. Rep. Miro Quimbo said; “lumang tugtogin na yan, mga ilang beses na dinala sa takilya yan di na kumikita yan. Ha? Walang ganyan, kalokohan yan.”

In addition, Ifugao Congressman Rep. Teddy Baguilat Jr., who is also a Liberal Party Member said that “maybe President Duterte think about Octoberfest and not Red October. Because we, in the Liberal Party have no plan to oust the President, ever. Because we respect the constitution.”

Also, the Makabayan Bloc do not believe in what the President has stated. On Makabayan Bloc Rep. Carlos Zarate – “San na naman nila nahugot or napulot etong intelligence report na ito, sa Norwaydia, or kung saan saan lang.”

The Chief of Staff of AFP General Carlito Galves Jr. says – “I am nonetheless reminding every soldier, airman, sailor, and marine not to meddle or take part in partisan politics. Our loyalty is to the Constitution. I command the troops to adhere to the rule of law and always obey the chain of command.”
