US gov’t attention on Noynoy highly suspicious — Miriam
By Angie M. Rosales 06/16/2010 The apparent attention being given by the American government to the incoming administration is highly suspicious, Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said yesterday. “I’m very concerned that America is showing its hand too early, giving him the big build up,” Santiago said, referring to President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino. “That is going to provoke the suspicion in the minds of many that America is intending to manipulate the Aquino presidency,” she added. One of the first ambassadors to visit Aquino shortly after the unofficial count was aired by the Commission on Elections, and even as Aquino was not as yet proclaimed, was the new US ambassador, who even congratulated his victory and the automated elections, despite early allegations of electoral fraud, and despite the fact that Smartmatic was under the carpet by a US agency for the flaws in election in several American states. Santiago, in a phone-patched interview with reporters, related her observation following the recent airing over at the History Channel of a documentary featuring Aquino’s father, the late Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr., titled “The Assassination of Ninoy Aquino.” Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/headlines/20100616hed5.html |
