JOINT PRESS RELEASE

August 14, 2003

Sanlakas, Partido ng Manggagawa

 

 

Militant solons urge House to probe OPERATION GREEN BASE, ‘Palace Coup’ plot

 

 

Militant party-list groups Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) and Sanlakas today urged the Congress leadership to conduct an investigation that would shed light on the Magdalo group’s allegations that the Arroyo administration plotted a stingy operation dubbed as “Operation Green Base”. 

The plan, which includes series of bombings in Davao City and Metro Manila, is designed to pin blames on the secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation Front. 

PM Rep. Renato Magtubo and Sanlakas Rep. JV Bautista also want the Congress to establish the veracity of another allegations raised by Lt. SG. Antonio Trillanes IV regarding a “Palace Coup”. Under this plan, a series of bombings in Metro Manila and Baguio City would give GMA a reason to ask for an emergency power and eventually declare a Martial Law. 

“Until now, the families of the victims in the Davao bombings are screaming for justice. Both Senate and Congress should make ways to ferret out the truth behind these allegations,” Rep. Magtubo said. 

“If it is true that this government indeed, dirtied its hands on the issue of Davao bombings, in the name of justice, Senate and Congress must wield their powers whoever’s head is on the line,” Rep. Bautista added. 

PM and Sanlakas will also seek for the investigation of the alleged selling of ammunitions to the rebel groups. Magtubo added, “GMA has always been talking about all-out-war in Mindanao. But never did we imagine that the AFP where she stands as Commander in Chief can afford to make money out of the soldiers’ blood.“

Magtubo and Bautista also slammed the Arroyo government for doing early ‘damage control’ and ‘psywar’ propaganda campaign outside of the on-going investigations on the July 27 mutiny. 

“GMA is desperately doing all the magic to save her already tainted “Strong Republic”. Obviously, the disciples of Malacañang are tiring themselves trying to find ways how to save the skin of GMA from further shame,” Rep. Magtubo concluded.
