COMMUNICATION Secretary Martin Andanar, who has made a career of announcing all sorts of conspiracies and plots against President Rodrigo Duterte, has just announced the existence of a “grand scheme” by parties unknown to unseat the President. This contradicts the statement of Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. that there is no such threat to the President. Is Andanar’s claim more solid than his previous assertion that members of the Senate media had been bribed $1,000 each to cover a former policeman’s press conference alleging DU30’s involvement in the bombing of mosques and killings when he was still mayor of Davao City? Or is it just as spurious? Why is Andanar the one saying all this when his credibility is perhaps at its lowest point?
