As an ailing Duterte flails away amid growing scandals of corruption, anger over economic injustices and extra-judicial killings linked to his drug war, and massive opposition to his planner charter change, his last ace is being brought to light: Marcosian dictatorship.
He also emphasized the need to clamp down on a growing youth movement and aired a plan to “stop recruitment” in schools. His worldview is chilling: no legal dissent can be allowed because this will lead to more militant struggle.
The AFP now wants a national inter-agency task force, via an executive order, to expand its targets beyond armed rebellion. Galvez sweeps away several laws and the Constitution by demanding the inclusion of “parliamentary struggle” as an anti-insurgency target.
The stepped up redbaiting by the Armed Forces is a clear sign of the Duterte regime’s full engagement in facilitating the return of dictatorship and cementing the comeback of the Marcos family.
There is no other way to view statements by AFP Chief Gen. Carlito Galvez.

All systems go for today's United People's Action at Luneta 4:00 pm.
Nothing can stop anti-dictatorship protests: Not Duterte's paranoia, not PNP disinformation, not Erap's class suspension, not the trolls.

PNP disinformation plot flops again: Superintendent Benigno Durana Jr., head of the PNP Public Information Office shows amazing ineptness for a senior police officer. He couldn’t even get proper intelligence from his own agency. https://t.co/tXYhShDS6q
The people will not be cowed into silence. Tomorrow, at the Luneta, we will thunder against the dictatorship of the past and that of the present.
