Manila, Philippines - The former Cabinet Secretary
of the Arroyo administration, Bobi Tiglao is insisting that the former Senior
Associate Justice Antonio Carpio is an avid supporter of former National
Security Adviser Jose Almonte in propagating the anti-China campaign.
“Carpio is deranged in his anti-China
xenophobia, which I think he got from his ideological guru Jose Almonte, around
whom so many rumors have been swirling for years over his deep connections with
the US CIA (United States Central Intelligence Agency),” Tiglao mentioned in his Manila Times column
Almonte is a member of the
Philippine Military Class of 1956 and retired Major General from the Armed
Forces in 1986. He used to be assigned as an intel officer since 1962; went to
Vietnam as a deep penetration agent in the Viet Cong;
He helped establish
Philippines’ ties with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic in 1975; joined
the Reform the Armed Forces Movement; a scoured world in search of Marcos’ hidden
wealth; and led the dissolve of monopolies under the Ramos administration.
Tiglao has no doubts on President Rodrigo Duterte calling
Carpio “Buang” after the former
Senior Associate Justice lambasted the Chief Executive for insisting that China
was free to fish in Recto Bank which was within the country’s exclusive
economic zone.
However
Tiglao said Carpio was not just your ordinary buang but not in a stupid way. He
thinks Carpio was in a “diabolically
devious” level of Buang.
“Maybe
Duterte is right in calling Carpio buang if that term is used in its more
precise meaning, which is ‘someone deranged, and possibly dangerous’. ‘And Carpio is dangerous, for his skill in
spreading disinformation’, Tiglao added.
“His criticism of Duterte is just another instance of his incessant
propaganda to stoke anti-Chinese xenophobia using our territorial disputes with
China, exploiting the respected pulpit of a Supreme Court justice,” he said.
