Former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson dismissed as downright false allegations linking him to alleged destabilization plots against the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., stressing what he advocates for is a peaceful movement for reforms.
Singson told the monthly MACHRA ‘Balitaan’ of the Manila City Hall Reporters’ Association held at the Harbor View Restaurant in Ermita, Manila that his only role during the previous rally that was marred by violence was to send food and nothing else, adding that he was not even present in the area.
He also called on the public to set aside politics and personal ambitions and put the country’s welfare above all things, by joining calls for total reform in government.
Singson hastily added though that what he seeks is a peaceful movement and that he is not calling for the military’s withdrawal of support from government.
He Singson warned against the idea of declaring martial law, saying it will only anger the people, who are already unhappy about corruption in government.
“Pag di siya bumitaw, I am dead sure, mapapatalsik siya,” Singson predicted during the said forum, adding that the President should just opt for an ‘honorable exit’ and avoid a repeat of what happened to his father years ago.
