Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile unveiled that there is a plot to pillory incoming President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Enrile warned that certain groups from the United States (US) and the Philippines are allegedly conspiring to put Marcos in trouble.

“I just picked up what I consider to be credible information that there are groups in America and in the Philippine(s) planning and preparing to cause serious embarrassment and trouble for our newly elected President,” he said in his post.

Enrile did not elaborate on the alleged plot to tarnish the incoming president’s image. However, he said that he will give further details to the “proper official of the new regime in due time.”

He also advised the national security officials of the incoming administration to reinforce their intelligence information rather than taking the approach of making “soft and pacific statements.”

“I have a humble unsolicited advice for the national security officials of the new regime. Instead of making soft and pacific statements seemingly intended to quiet and to gain the cooperation, trust, and confidence of the habitual trouble makers in this country, I suggest that they should sharpen their intelligence information,” Enrile wrote.

Enrile’s caution came two weeks before Marcos’ inauguration as the 17th president of the Philippines.
