(Eagle News)–The Communists are tapping students to oust President Rodrigo Duterte, the Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff said on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
According to Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez Jr., who spoke during a Senate hearing on the Department of National Defense’s proposed budget, under the Red October plot, the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army mobilized 10 universities in Manila.
“They are making a lot of information drive wherein they will show high school, even college students, the atrocities committed during the Marcos regime and equate that to the present administration,” Galvez said, without identifying the schools.
According to Galvez, the Communists “have this Operation Talsik and Operation Aklasan wherein they will hold simultaneous labor protests and tactical offensive in far flung areas.”
He said the issues they would use were the “unabated inflation rate, the rising prices,” and would “paint [that] the government will resort to dictatorship and tyranny..”
“They have an elaborate plan, likening it to First Quarter Storm model. Joma Sison has been conducting conferences with UP students, and we have document [on this] that we can show you in an executive session,” Galvez said, referring to the CPP founder.
The Communists have repeatedly denied there was a plot to oust the President.
