Some senators are doubtful that a plot to oust President Rodrigo Duterte from power would succeed, while some are questioning the veracity of such information. On Wednesday, Duterte’s repeated claim of an ouster plot against him, supposedly involving the Liberal Party, communist rebels and even some soldiers, drew mixed reactions from senators. Senators Panfilo Lacson and Francis “Chiz” Escudero, meanwhile, doubt that the reported destabilization plot would pose a serious threat to the President. Escudero, for his part, believes that the destabilization plot was “unlikely” and “highly doubtful.”“In the realm of possibilities, nothing is impossible,” Escudero said in another text message to reporters. /jpvRELATED STORYCommunists expanding alliances for ‘Red October’ ouster plot — AFPRead Next
