Editorial: Enemy within?

SO APPARENTLY there’s a destabilization plot against the government.

President Rodrigo Duterte called on the military not to get into bed with the enemy, as he reiterated there’s a move to topple his administration.

He reiterated there are state forces who are in cahoots with the opposition.

He said he resented these soldiers as they can’t involve the public in their sentiment.

Duterte said if they don’t like him as their president anymore, it’s okay, but they have to wait until the election.

Last September, Duterte said the communist group, the opposition Liberal Party, and the Magdalo group want him out of office by October.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines had also supported the claim of their commander-in-chief that his critics would unseat him in October.

The President is confident the ouster plot against him would not prosper as long as the army and the police do not support the move.

Funny how the government would claim there’s a plan to oust the President when in fact, everyone in the administration is an ally.

Yes, there’s a couple of opposition, but still, that doesn’t change the fact there’s a super, super majority. How can an enemy within prosper? When all of the potential threats were neutralized right away.

This destabilization plot is just a red herring.
