Palace stands by Duterte remark about plan of LP, Trillanes, Communist rebels to oust him as chief executive by October

(Eagle News)—The Palace on Monday, Sept. 10, stood by President Rodrigo Duterte’s claim Communist rebels, the Liberal Party and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV had plans of ousting him as chief executive by October.

In a radio interview, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the President had access to “all information, including intelligence information.”

Roque called Duterte’s political enemies “atat na atat” to return to Malacañang.

He expressed confidence, however, that Filipinos would “defend the President, democracy.”

“..Dahil alam nila na ang mandatong ibinigay kay Presidente ay hanggang 2022,” Roque said.
