At least 10 universities in Metro Manila have allegedly been organized by a broad coalition led by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) as part of the so-called “Red October” plot to oust President Rodrigo Duterte, the Armed Forces (AFP) chief revealed on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENTAFP Chief of Staff General Carlito Galvez Jr. detailed the plot to oust President Duterte during the hearing of the Senate committee on finance on the proposed 2019 budget of the Department of National Defense and its attached agencies. It was opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who asked about the ouster plot. “In fact, they have already organized 10 of the universities in Manila,” he told the committee. I can’t reveal it but I can reveal in the executive session so that we can see the vast efforts of the CPP-NPA in order to oust Duterte,” he said .
