The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is taking seriously the alleged plot to assassinate President Aquino, as revealed by Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, despite there having been no details of the alleged assassination plot bared to a local executive by the defense chief.
Despite the absence of any detail on the alleged plot to kill Aquino, AFP Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Ricardo David Jr. said he immediately ordered the Intelligence Service of the AFP (Isafp) to look into the alleged plot.
“I directed the chief Isafp to look into it because even if it is only a rumor, we must be serious about that,” said David.
“Of course, we take everything seriously, especially a plot of that sort,” added David.
Many have dismissed the alleged plot as just another ploy by the Palace through an Aquino aide, Gazmin, to divert the public’s focus of attention from the twin crises that have befallen Aquino and wreaked heavy damage to his presidency
