Lawmakers, who used to be police officers and ranking officials of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, dismissed as “wild speculations” and “baseless” yesterday, reports of a brewing destabilization plot against the administration of President Benigno Aquino III.
“There is no such situation that is brewing,” former police general-turned Pangasinan Rep. Leopoldo Bataoil said.

The request was made after the arrest of a city-paid member of the Police Auxiliary Unit during a buy-bust operation conducted by the Special Operations Group in Dumaguete Tuesday.
