@Bellum_Romanum bro last month article from Roberto Tiglao of Manila Times, let you in on how the American covert funding is being used and who are the players. You can see the personalities involving the past administration, retired military men and the oligarch especially Manny Pangilinan (who owned a lot of public utilities that is being investigated by Duterte) who hold a US passport. If the American placed their hope on this people to initiate a coup or a change in leadership they will be hugely disappointed. With the recent G7 debacle, common people here are realizing the imperialistic intent of the US (Finally!!!) and their recent SCS China militia false flag operation didn't cause any dent in Duterte popularity. Now the opposition especially Carpio 1sambayan Coalition is having problem recruiting people to run under its Banner...lol, they're naming popular politician without consulting them with embarrassing rebuke hahahaha, Bro only Trillanes answer the call and that is like asking for a death wish...lol
Trillanes' Magdalo putschists behind retired generals' anti-Duterte group?
May 24, 2021
A GROUP of a dozen and a half retired generals and colonels calling themselves "Advocates for the National Interest" issued a statement a week ago that tried to spread the colossal lies the Yellows and former magistrate Antonio Carpio have been spreading on the South China Sea dispute.
This mostly septuagenarian lot should do what retired generals of integrity anywhere in the world do, which is to shut their mouths on an incumbent president's policies and on issues they either know nothing about or are too lazy to study - unless their intention is to spread rumors that there is a coup d'etat in the works.
But that, in fact, may be its aim - wittingly or unwittingly though on the part of its members - or at least to portray President Duterte as a puppet of China among our uniformed men.
The cabal behind this "association," however, has been so amateurish a few weeks before its statement was released on May 17 that it spread rumors "retired and active generals" were withdrawing their support for President Duterte for his allegedly weak stance against China. That Viber group even claimed Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Cirilito Sobejana were with them.
The "association's" statement was then released which was simply a long exposition for the justification for the military's alleged withdrawal of its support from Duterte, signed by retired generals to bolster its credibility. This "association" is nothing but the newest propaganda weapon of the forces pushing the Philippines into conflict with China, designed to focus on the military - which makes it a dangerous group.
My basis for this suspicion is that it has a member who is not a former general nor even a colonel: Francisco Ashely Acedillo, a former helicopter pilot whose highest rank had been of lieutenant in the Air Force. Who is he?
Acedillo was one of the 11 officers first convicted in 2008 by a military court together with Gary Alejano, for leading the short-lived Oakwood Mutiny in 2003 and being kicked out of the military. He spent seven years in the Villamor stockades until his conviction.
Financing
I was told by one of those listed in that group's manifesto it was Acedillo who was behind its organization and appeared to be financing it.
Why else would a lieutenant who had defied the military chain of command, was convicted of mutiny and discharged dishonorably, be included in an exclusive club of retired generals and colonels who had been loyal to the Constitution? Of course, he would be there if it was he who had recruited the retired generals into the "association."
Convicted mutineer Acedillo (right) said to be behind the ‘retired generals and colonels’ association critical of Duterte’s China policy, with comrades Trillanes and Gary Alejano in New York. FROM A FACEBOOK POST
There's more info that should make us very suspicious.
After serving a term as the Magdalo (aka Antonio Trillanes') party representative in Congress, he became assistant vice president for cybersecurity of Smart Communications. Smart is a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co., owned mainly by the Indonesian tycoon Anthoni Salim. It was the ambitious project of that firm, together with tycoons Enrique Razon and Roberto Ongpin - to extract gas in the disputed Reed Bank in 2011 - that was blocked by Chinese vessels and triggered the Aquino regime's hostile stance against China.
A board director of Smart Communications is former foreign affairs secretary Albert del Rosario, one of the top anti-China figures in the country today.
Did Acedillo get a tasking from First Pacific that wasn't in his job description? Amazing, isn't it, a mutineer who was with a group that tried to topple a duly constituted government heads the cybersecurity operations of one of the two biggest cellphone firms in the country? Duterte's officials, just to be safe, should stop using Smart phones.
That Acedillo deliriously hates Duterte is quite obvious in his recent Facebook post, part of which reads:
"Welcome to this s-it show called Pilipinas, featuring...
A HUNDRED MILLION COWARDS AND ONE SON OF A BITCH!
Sadly, your protestations, your bravery, and your patriotism - they are all irrelevant. Because it's only that SOB in the Palace (or in Davao, I suppose) that matters still, and his sick bunch of sycophants, flatterers, and murderers - cowards all of them - cowards in the face of a virus' onslaught and the menacing presence of an enemy in our waters."
