The opposition Liberal Party denies President Rodrigo Duterte's claim that it is planning his ouster along with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and the Communist Party of the Philippines. "The accusation of destabilization is downright false. Every time scandals and controversies hound this administration, whether it be corruption issues or issues of incompetent governance, it blames the opposition," it says. On its own, either by its incompetence or corruption, the government is doing a good job of destabilizing itself," it adds. Duterte alleges that the three groups have banded together to remove him from office by October.
