An alleged plot to assassinate President Aquino cropped up yesterday emanating from a conversation between Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and his good friend Mayor Vicente Emano of Cagayan de Oro City last Tuesday.
Department of National Defense (DND) spokesman Eduardo Batac confirmed the conversation between Gazmin and Emano but stressed that there is nothing “concrete” about the alleged plot which cropped up amid the growing jueteng controversy which has dragged several personalities identified with Aquino.
“There is nothing concrete about the plot; there is no specific threat but only possibilities,” said Batac.
The DND spokesman described the talk between Gazmin and Emano was a “candid and private one between close friends.”
“He (Gazmin) could be taken out of context,” said Batac, as he claimed the defense chief was also speaking as a former Presidential Security Group (PSG) chief of Aquino’s mother, the late President Cory Aquino.
Batac, however, admitted that President Aquino could always be a target of such threat..... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
