WITH both former senator, Ferdinand ‘Bongbong/BBM’ Marcos Jr. and Davao City mayor, Sara Duterte, heading for a landslide win in the May 9, 2022 elections as president and vice-president respectively, front organizations and urban operatives of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), have apparently set into motion the ‘Plan B’ of the terrorist group’s strategic plan to destabilize the country by urging the public to reject the elections’ results and consequently, forcibly install Vice President Leni Robredo to the presidency.
As of 9:17 am of May 10, 2022, the ‘transparency servers’ of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), showed both Marcos and Duterte have a lead of over 100 percent and 300 percent, respectively, over their nearest rivals.
The tally showed Marcos garnering 30,622,302 votes while his “closest” rival, Robredo, only has 14,611,211 votes or a difference of 16,011,091 votes (more than 100 percent). Robredo was followed by Sen. Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Pacquiao with 3,541,623 votes; Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso with 1,861,818 votes; Sen. Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson, 873,094 votes; Faisal Mangondato, 241,123 votes; Ernie Abella, 111,120; Leody de Guzman, 90,678 votes; Norberto Gonzales, 87,238 votes; and, Jose Montemayor, 58,969 votes.
Similarly, the partial, unofficial results showed Duterte trouncing her closest rival, Sen. Francisco ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan, Robredo’s running mate, by more than 300 percent, with Duterte registering 31,003,239 votes while Pangilinan thus far only has 9,101,744 votes for a margin of 21,901,495 votes.
Pangilinan was followed by Senate President Vicente ‘Tito’ Sotto III (8,100,944 votes); Willie Ong (1,821,735 votes); Lito Atienza (262,203 votes); Manny SD Lopez (153,746 votes); Walden Bello (97,798 votes); Carlos Serapio (87,915 votes); and, Rizalito David (54, 354 votes).
Comrades, it is time for ‘Plan B’
It can be recalled that citing a report from one CPP insider, the National Intelligence and Coordinating Agency (NICA) warned that last February 27, 2022, top officials of the CPP’s ‘Propaganda Unified Committee’ held a meeting inside a seminary in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, where they plotted a scenario to forcibly install Robredo as president should she lose the elections by claiming massive fraud that favored Marcos and Duterte.
The plotters also agreed to blame the purported electoral cheating on the Duterte administration.
That meeting was also attended via video link by CPP founder, Jose Maria Sison, according to the NICA report.
The CPP aims to create an atmosphere similar to what preceded the 1986 ‘People Power’ where the public was convinced to reject the result of that year’s “snap election” for president between Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and Corazon Aquino, the widow of former Sen. Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino Jr.
Ninoy helped in the founding of the CPP and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA) in the late ‘60s.
(The full article pertaining to that meeting can be read in the April 1, 2022 issue of Pinoy Exposé).
The CPP is doing everything it can to make Robredo president as she is the terrorist group’s presidential bet, as confirmed by former CPP cadres and intelligence reports reaching Pres. Rodrigo Duterte.
On the evening of May 9, 2022, just hours after the partial and unofficial results started to come in showing Marcos and Duterte taking a commanding, unassailable lead of at least 100 percent against Robredo and Pangilinan, the CPP’s urban havens in Metro Manila based in campuses and universities, started their agitation campaign to reject the incoming results and for the public to stage public demonstrations.
Heading the charge is the Student Council of the state-owned University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City (UP-Diliman), headed by Student Regent Renee Louise Co.
Co is also the university’s chairperson of the Kabataan Party List, a front organization of the CPP.
‘No classes under a Marcos presidency; UP students walk out!’ reads the harangue of the UP students’ regent to all UP students and the public. The call was immediately seconded by the student council at the University of Sto. Tomas in Manila, which also supported the call by the UP Students Council for a student demonstration in front of the COMELEC office in Intramuros, Manila on Tuesday, May 10, 2022.
On that day, a demonstration dutifully took place at the COMELEC office with other CPP fronts—Gabriela, Kilusang Mayo Uno, Kadamay, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and Anakpawis, among others—spearheading the protest largely attended by college and university students and those from the urban poor.
‘Better go home and wash the dishes’
As the CPP-staged protest at the COMELEC and elsewhere continue, Atty. Flosemer Chris Gonzales, Legal Affairs spokesperson of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), issued a statement condemning the continuing agitation and “false propaganda dissemination” being waged by CPP front groups to discredit the result of the just concluded elections.
“This (protest) is an act of desperation on the part of the mob. This is not an act of decent, rational, and well-meaning individuals. It is our duty to inform this unruly mob to stay within the bounds of the law,” Gonzales said, warning:
“Any attempt or overt act on your part leading to the disruption of the peace and order and causing harm to the public will be dealt with accordingly by our law enforcement agencies.
“Do not make this ruckus and meltdown of emotions due to your massive defeat in the elections become a threat to national security. Do not force the government to use the full force of the law against you.”
Noting that majority of the participants are students hoodwinked into believing that there was massive cheating during the elections that resulted to Robredo and Pangilinan’s looming defeat, Gonzales advised them not to allow themselves “to be used and exploited by anti-government elements to advance their selfish agenda.”
“The people have spoken, respect that voice,” he added.
“Go home. Pray. Plant trees. Wash the Dishes. Spend time with your Mom and Dad.
“Do not waste your time and your future in the company of a bunch of misguided and disgruntled mob who cannot be decent and gracious enough to accept the will of the Filipino people,” Gonzales added.
