Plot to Oust Duterte Leaks. Netizen Fears of a Possible Media Cover-up


"Join Duterte Resign Movement" – this is how an email sent by the billionaire lobbyist Loida Nicolas-Lewis to an anomalous Yahoo group last December 6, 2016 ended.




In the same email, she explained that the only way to avert the plot to steal vice-presidency from Leni Robredo is to ask for President Rodrigo Duterte to resign.

This is in lieu of the statement of Duterte that he will resign if his war on drugs won’t be completed within 6 months as he promised in his campaign.

The highly controversial series of emails overflowing with vendetta against the President came from the Yahoo group and has been mistakenly set public by the Global Filipino Diaspora Council (GFDC) which leaks online by an exposé published by Thinking Pinoy.

The exchange of messages within the group led by the  Fil-Am Nicolas Lewis with her sister, Commission on Filipino Overseas chairman Imelda Nicolas, CFO commissioner Jose Molano, Jr., Inquirer US Bureau columnist Ted Laguatan, ABS- CBN Europe correspondent Atty. Gene Alcantara, and Northern Europe civil society leader Filomenita Mogaya Hølsholm allegedly showed how an international propaganda machinery works to oust Duterte. 


Thinking Pinoy, who first wrote the exposé about #lenileaks that escalated quickly in social media, cited pages from the controversial Yahoo group which was formerly set public but switched to secrecy few hours after the article hit the internet.

At the moment, links were already dead but controversial parts were still available online.

In the series of the said conversation, the propaganda machinery being employed was bared, showing a forwarded message of Pete Silva, which allegedly came from the Office of the Vice President.

At first, they enlisted the negative attacks against Robredo, which they consider as coming from pro-BBM and pro-Duterte supporters




Corresponding to that, they enlisted their responses to every attacks. 




Another plot was made when BBM supporters produced memes came to their attack. 


The alleged message shows the support being done by OVP for all influential efforts to instruct its supporters on how they should behave in social media. 

Worse, people coming from OVP responsible for this are actually being paid by people's taxes, an evident use of public funds to undermine the government, said Thinking Pinoy. 

The hashtag Leni leaks (#lenileaks) trended fast on different social media platforms. But despite being the top talk of the town, media is still silent about the issue.

People's clamors have been apparently generating huge magnitude across the internet at the moment but remain snubbed by major media outlets.
