Plot unravels
- September 26, 2018 12:25 AM1056
In the parlance of the revolutionary movement, a catalyst is needed to speed up the attainment of its goal of social upheaval.
It happened on 21 August 1971 when a bomb exploded during a miting de avance of the Liberal Party (LP), an incident that resulted in the protest actions against former President Ferdinand Marcos to intensify.
The anarchy that resulted forced Marcos to declare martial law more than a year later on 21 September 1972.
Now the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is using the same formula, with the help of the yellow mob which is desperate to oust President Rody Duterte through any means, to force his hand into taking a drastic move such as a nationwide declaration of martial law.
A book read by avid follower of Marcos and the martial law years written by former CPP member Dr. Mario Miclat “Secrets of the Eighteen Mansions: A Novel” which is available in most bookstores and printed by Anvil Publishing in 2010 states that the bombing was planned and executed by Sison.
In the book, Sison was quoted as saying: “We will force Marcos to declare martial law. People will rise up in arms when he finally shows his fascist face.”
The book also cites a certain “Peter” an aide of Sison as telling him in October 1971 that “(the late Senator) Ninoy Aquino did not go to Plaza Miranda on the night of the bombing. Kumander Pusa phoned him.”
Kumander Pusa is Dante Buscayno who hails from Tarlac and who was then a key figure in the CPP.
Based on information that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) obtained, the coalition of anti-Duterte led by the CPP has designated next month as the start of the all-out campaign to remove Rody from power in a plot which they call as Red October.
The plot is too ambitious, however, as it envisioned that the people and consequently the military will go along with the conspiracy.
Gauging by the recent yellow rallies held, the plotters would be lucky if they can pull in 1,000 rallyists for their grand design.
Rody has proven lately that he is miles ahead of his opponents. Based on AFP information a movement preceded Red October, scheduled on the martial law declaration anniversary on 21 September but was preempted by Rody himself when he made public the alliance among the CPP, the yellow mob and the Magdalo group of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
Members of the yellow mob supposedly scurried away after the police and other government agents started asking questions.
After the end of the peace negotiations, based on the AFP piecing of a horde of data it accumulated, the CPP started to broker alliances with critics of the Duterte administration, particularly the opposition Tindig Pilipinas and its allied organizations like the LP and the Magdalo group.
Among the names mentioned in the plot were the yellow Tindig Pilipinas, the left-wing Movement Against Tyranny, the LP, the camp of Vice President Robredo and the Magdalo of Trillanes.
Rody appears bent on frustrating the designs of the plotters by revealing to Filipinos their every move through the intelligence that he supposedly obtains from a foreign source.
Deprived of the element of surprise, the unholy alliance of the Reds and the yellows can only make a lot of futile noises similar to Trillanes who pitches his taunts against Rody while hiding behind the walls of the Senate.
The critical mass that the group seeks to obtain to make the plot a success remains with Rody and is expected to do so until the end of his term.
