Cerge Remonde, the palace Press secretary is quick to quell news about the involvement of the palace in moves to amend the charter. Speaking before DZMM "Dos por Dos" program of Gerry Baja and Anthony Taberna, Remonde said that opposition groups are behind rumours linking Mrs. Arroyo to cha-cha. Remonde's quick denial says much about the veracity of these so-called "rumours".
For Remonde and the rest of Malacanang, it was just rumours that presidential son Mikey Arroyo and his factotum, Cong. Romualdez went to former Speaker Joe de Venecia's office to offer him the speakership back in exchange for support to the cha-cha gravy train.
It was all rumours that the Budget department is stalling release of pork barrel funds for Congressmen unwilling to be part of the palace insidious plan.
And again, it was all rumours that the official palace ally at the House, Speaker Prospero Nograles, is now leading the charge for the passage of the controversial cha-cha measure.
Without the blessing of the palace, Mr. Remonde? Bull. This is as crappy as anyone can get.
Who ordered the marshalling of government resources during the Congress break to support vacation packages for Congressmen?
Who gave the blessing for Mikey to abandon Nograles and go to JDV?
Let me reveal this:
Plan A (charter change) is still very much active.
Plan B (Martial law) is an option which is still being cooked up by the hawks in Malacanang.
Plan C is relegated.
