SOMEONE'S LYING IN PNOY COUP PLOT!

Now, it’s Sen. Antonio Trilanes who’s saying that there is indeed an ouster plot against Pnoy.

That makes it an even two players on both sides – Pnoy and Trillanes confirming the supposed coup plot and the Presidential Security Group in particular and the Armed Forces in general who say there’s none.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte had her own version – Pnoy was talking of old ouster plots.

SOMEBODY’S LYING, boys and girls. Take your pick.

Trillanes said retired military officers are the ones trying to recruit soldiers in active duty for the ouster plot. He said these retirees have been spreading rumors that Pnoy has offered a Cabinet post to Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) chair Jose Ma. Sison.

But as usual, Trillanes DID NOT NAME NAMES.

In an obvious attempt to give credence to his allegations, Trillanes said prospective recruits are invited to dinner wherein the possibility of a coup is brought up. If the target shows signs of a grudge against the government, he or she is invited again for more serious talks.

Again, no places, no dates or time frames, no nothing.

Last week, Pnoy said he received information about a coup plot against him. But he did not have any other detail about it.

A day or two after, no less than the Presidential Security Group (PSG) categorically said it had no reports of the supposed plot. The Armed Forces almost immediately seconded this

ANO BA TALAGA, MGA KUYA (Which is the truth, guys)?

Think about these, people:

Malacanang boasts of the latest, supposed 70 percent popularity rating of Pnoy according to surveys. If they and those surveys are telling the truth, then there’s NO SANE REASON for anybody to plot a coup.

Trillanes was immediately specific in his past accusations of and tirades on alleged anomalies against the Arroyo Administration. Surprisingly, he can’t do the same now.

Like their fellow comrades-in-arms, the PSG and the Armed Forces would not dare to immediately and PUBLICLY EXPRESS SURPRISE at Pnoy’s revelation of the supposed ouster plot if it is indeed true.

Remember, Pnoy’s their commander-in-chief.

If Valte is telling the truth that Pnoy was referring to an old ouster plot, they will have to explain why he made it sound like a new one or why did he have to reveal it in the first place.

As an old saying in poker goes, choose your wild, boys and girls.

NILOLOKO NA NAMAN TAYO DITO SA COUP PLOT NA ITO. Let’s all join forces in finding out why or what for.

OIL PRICES CAN BE REDUCED…

DONN IDOS

Taxes taken out from fuels is just like scooping water from the well. Why would they bother take it out? Ano na ang kukurakutin nila? Saan na a kukuha ng pambili ng bullet proof vehicles?

EMMANUEL PASUIT of Doha, Qatar

Sana nga.

JAMES ALBERT MILITAR of Whistler, Canada

I doubt it!

HONEY VIV of Bangkok, Thailand

They do that here. The government mandates price reduction and the companies comply.

FRANKO DAGAN

The only solution is for the government to operate a gasoline company similar to the Marcos time, when Petron was being managed and operated by the government. If the government will regain control of Petron, it can effectively control the prices of gasoline. Maaari itong (Petron) magpataw ng increment o patong sa cost price na eksakto lamang sa pantustos sa operations nito, Sa ganiyang paraan, mas mura ang price ng Petron. Susunod ang ibang kumpanya. Kung hindi, walang magpapagas sa kanila. They do not have the political will to do this.

CRISTY MARIE REYES of Iloilo City

Removing E-VAT sa oil is one of the solutions.

KENN ANGELO EBRAHIM TORRE of Makati

Our people can't feel the oil price reduction, sir. Needs more (understanding of the) implications of the Oil Deregulation Law. If the oil companies can't abide by it, 50 percent of their profits will be taken by the state as tax.If they refused to give,...the authority shall think of a punishment to give to these oil "tycoons."

KIKO WHITNEY

Hey, he has started a project. It’s  called "impeach Corona." He must have spent quite a lot for it already. 

LAURA PRADO of Davao City

Sana nga!

LETTY ARCILLA

Maraming nakikinabang kay Penoy. Ito kasi ang kanilang deal kung mananalo siya last election. Kaya’t ngayon, heto tayo, ang nagpapasan ng kahirapan!

RICKY MATIAS of Omaha, Nebraska, USA

What are they in power for?

BHAXZ RYDER

Those CCTs by Soliman are still unaccounted for. That's why her appointment is always bypassed by the Commission on Appointments.

NIYONG GONZALES of Iloilo, City

Pag pinakialaman niya, masasampal na naman siya ni Tito Danding.

GEMMIELY ONG of Stockton, California

Wala tralagang silbi iyang Aquino na iyan. Dapat diyan, umalis o iimpeach niya sarili nya. Kawawa nang masyado ang mahihirap.

PATER DEL ROSARIO

Isa pa iyang si Dinky Soliman. Bilyon ang pondo (ng CCT). Nasaan na kaya iyon? Dapat kay Dinky, isumbong kay Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago para maimbestigahan kung nasaan ang fund.

PNOY PRO-RICH, NOT PRO-POOR!

KABSATMO FELIX

Ganiyan yata ang state of mind ng karamihang mayayaman sa ating gobyerno. Di kasi yata nila naranasan ang walang maisaing, ang kumalam ang sikmura. Kaniya wala silang compassion sa mga mahihirap.  Di sila makarelate sa damdamin ng kanilang mahihirap na nasasakupan. Puro lang sila salita noong nagangampanya pa. Napaniwala naman nila si Juan Pasan Ang Cruz.

MARIA ROSALIE QUINTO of Englewood, New Jersey, USA

Kaya kailangan na magising na sa katotohanan. Di porke anak ni Ninoy ay magaling nga sya.

PEDRO LADINES of Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Marami kasi masasagasahan pag nilinis ang political system kaya ayun, maraming kontra! 30
