Assassination plot?

Who wants to assassinate President Duterte?

Not the Communist Party. Joma Sison himself said he wants  Mr. Duterte alive so he can be held accountable for the injustices, impunity and violence under his administration.

So, is it the opposition? They have big brave hearts, but are miniscule in number.

The “yellows”? Certainly not. They are politically and economically entrenched; they wouldn’t rock the boat.

How about the “masa”? With neither public relations men nor spokespersons to tell their stories of woe, they suffer in silence.

Only the four walls of their shanties bear witness to their pain, hunger, grief and anger. Hopeless and defenseless, they can only grit their teeth and clench their fists in frustration.

So who is out to get Mr. Duterte?
