Asked whether the President’s claims were based on police intelligence, the PNP chief, Dir. “The President has unlimited access to information – not only from the PNP but also from other agencies,” he added,. He had also suggested this week that a marriage of strange bedfellows – the Liberal Party, Communist Party of the Philippines and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV – was also scheming to overthrow him.
