My intelligence operatives have reported to me that the real reason that emboldens the Grace Poe-Chiz Escudero tandem to challenge the LP goliath is their possession of a very damaging information, that they are planning to expose at the climax of the campaign. That would be the final blow that shall totally destroy both the LP presidential candidate for president Mar Roxas, as well as his principal sponsor, President Noynoy Aquino. This, of course, is the final report in the Mamasapano tragedy.
There are very explosive information and very damaging testimonies that would allegedly point to the Secretary of the DILG and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, as the main situs of responsibility. That was supposedly the reason why until the last few days before the deadline, the president was practically begging Grace Poe to join Mar Roxas in the LP ticket. If these vital information are revealed to the people, then they would constitute as the tipping point that may change the course of the election results.
I now understand why the UNA presidential bet, Vice President Jojo Binay, in his contra-SONA, delivered somewhere in Cavite, highlighted the Mamasapano tragedy as the best evidence of this administration's monumental incompetence that proximately caused the death of our finest police officers. Binay also has some inkling about this explosive bombshell. His daughter, Senator Nancy Binay must have smelt a rat because as a member of the Grace Poe committee, she heard the testimonies, especially those that were taken in executive session.
The camp of Grace and Chiz are aware that these series of disqualification petitions filed before the Supreme Court and the Comelec are preemtive strikes seeking to send a strong warning to Grace that she should never open the "Pandora's box" in her closet. But these two candidates have retired military officers behind them. They also have a complete psywar and intelligence operations. Now, if Binay is arrested and Grace and Mar Roxas are going to "pulverize" each other in political combat, then Miriam Santiago may surge all the way from behind.
In fact, the dragon lady Miriam is inclined to join the concerted attack against Roxas and Aquino. Leni Robredo is innocent but she too will be hit by way of collateral damage. Soon, maybe after Christmas, some portions of this explosive information may be purposely leaked out in the web and that would be the beginning of the fall of the LP empire. The attack against Grace Poe via the legal maneuverings and machinations will be answered bullet for bullet, cannon for cannon, mortar for mortar. Of course, we speak and write in figures of speech.
If you find Grace Poe very confident, it is because she has a weapon in her hand. It has been said, and not without good reason that "knowledge is power." Grace knows something we all do not know. And the moment she explodes that bombshell, we shall all shudder in fear, and gnash our teeth in anger. Well, I hate to see that day, that our political world shall be shattered by an atomic bomb, more devastating than those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I am shuddering in terror even as I only imagine all these.
