Lacson Backed by PSB to Head Transition Government



The surfaced Para sa Bayan (PSB) was said to unseat GLORIA and position Senator-elect Panfilo Lacson for a transitionary government at a timeline of six months. PSB was said to be composed of active and retired military officials who were sympathizers of both Trillanes-led Magdalo and Brig Gen Danilo Lim’s 2010 senatorial candidacy. And at present, part of the group’s political agenda is the creation of a constitutional convention that is set-out to abolish Congress to pave way for the creation of a civilian-led transitionary government headed by Lacson as both president and commander-in-chief. According to a reliable source, PSB is led by Ret. Gen. Renato De Villa, Ret. Col. Rey Cabauatan and Ret. Col. Billy Bibit. That is, apart from the identified ten Army officers, whose names were still withheld, ranking from lieutenants all the way up to colonels.

For the record, Ret. Col. Cabauatan was the rumored shadow head of Ayaw Sa Trapo Movement (ASTM) dictating the public-known Bishop Nilo Tayag who acts as its “figure-head”. Cabauatan, as financed by Lacson purportedly led the signature campaign boosting SC Chief Reynato Puno’s 2010 presidential candidacy. ASTM was to be utilized as front of PSB as it caters neutral sectors particularly the middle class, academe and proletariats. Their support for Puno would serve as a facade underneath the intents of linking Lacson with the SC Justice.

It seems Lacson is also utilizing PSB particularly its active members who were still in the AFP to win support for a cooked-up coup plot against GLORIA. Ofcourse, elemental to gain grounds against the current administration is to divide the AFP and hold a strong support among both the religious sectors and the middle classes. That is, as compared with the successes of both EDSA revolts. Reasons behind the push of Lacson towards his orchestrated transitionary government is his beaten confidence surveys alongside co-presidentiables VP De Castro, Sen Escudero and even deposed President Estrada. Besides, this would be the easiest and swiftest way to Malacañang and to acquit himself of the Dacer-Corbito double slay case.
