ERAP-LACSON TANDEM: Behind TRG’s Forceful TAKE-OVER (Even if Civilian Lives are at Stake)

The controversial plan to ground the feared Transition Revolutionary Government (TRG) is out at last. Uncovered on circulating TRG proposal was the names of Sen. Panfilo Lacson and deposed Pres. Erap Estrada. The two, as enclosed on said 12-paged documentation, were the veiled authors of the proposed junta-inspired like EDSA that would likely perpetuate them in power with the use of the Transition Council. And unfortunately, this involves creating actual armed commotion that we had just witnessed recently. Specifically, this entails the bombing in the office of the Ombudsman that was shortly followed by the explosions in Cotabato, Sulu and Lanao.

Initial phases of the so-called last resolve to oust Gloria include the string of atrocious acts targeting civilian-dominated areas and key installations nationwide. That is, with the use of the active military defectors co-led by retired civilianized generals and certain former Col. Rey Cabauatan. This man was also indentified liaising with Lacson on the camps of BGEN Danilo Lim and Sen. Antonio Trillanes. Furthermore, Cabauatan was among those linked to the millions-worth of firearm and ammunition procurement in January of this year in Quezon City.

The motive behind such long shot armed campaign was to create a plausible scenario of instability that could trigger public outrage and discontent. Alienating the administration from the public by sabotaging the AFP and implying its incapacity to quell terroristic threats would serve as Erap and Ping’s mantra for the forceful take-over.

Targeting Mindanao would fit perfectly on exploiting the lapses on the GRP-MILF Peace Talks while shaking-up Metro Manila mean putting a stall on the flow of business and commerce. Visayas was spared for the reasons that Erap and Lacson believed it is impenetrable when it comes to its loyalty towards Gloria. However, the tandem plans to infiltrate the so-called little Malacañang through media-mitigated nationwide “demoralization”. The same process used to gather a handful of crowd during the EDSA Dos mobilizations.

Greed for power damnifies the soul. The Erap and Lacson tandem thought that this time around they could still get-away with murder in the process of developing their political careers. The Kuratong Baleleng and the Dacer-Corbito murders were nothing compared with their cooked-up plot against the entire nation. The TRG would not be another PAOC-TF that helps shield these two from retribution of their crimes. The people would not be too insensitive yet again to let this excuse-for-murder TRG to come into power.

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.
