So who are the major players in the Duterte ouster plot aside from Fil-Am billionaire Loida Nicholas Lewis? Some of the names won’t come as a surprise to some of us.
On Friday, January 6, 2017, Los-Angeles based journalist John Shinn III posted a series of photos showing the people allegedly behind in the Duterte ouster plot.
According to Mr. Shinn, Loida Lewis met with Fil-Americans and a couple of columnists from a major daily paper in the Philippines for a get-together.
Atty. Rodel Rodis, a San Francisco-based lawyer hosted the get-together at his residence on December 22, 2016.
In attendance of the December meeting are Loida Nicolas-Lewis, Inquirer columnist Randy David, Inquirer reporter Benjamin Pimentel, Greg Macabenta, Inquirer columnists Atty. Ted Laguatan and Atty. Rodel Rodis.
During the December 22 get-together, Loida Lewis and company launched FAHRA, acronym for FILIPINO-AMERICANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ALLIANCE, a lobby group based in San Francisco.
The Fil-Am journalist alleged that this is part of group’s Duterte ouster plan.
“It was also during this gathering that the group launched Filipino Americans for Human Rights Alliance (FAHRA), another lobby group in Loida Nicolas Lewis’ campaign to oust democratically-elected Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte,” the Fil-Am journalist revealed.
According to his observation, a major daily newspaper is leading the Duterte oust movement.
“From the looks of it all, the Inquirer is leading the oust Duterte campaign in the U.S. with the financial help and guidance of Lewis and her network of connections in the U.S. news media and the Democratic Party,” the Fil-Am journalist alleged.
He refused to name the other characters who attended the get-together.
Loida Lewis spoke before attended the Christmas gathering.

Moving forward, let us find out how former DILG Sec. Rafael Alunan III reacts on the Christmas get-together of Loida Lewis and company in San Francisco.
More incriminating names, photos, places, motives. Corroborates the email exposès now circulating in cyberspace and credence to the administration’s previous findings of an ouster plot by these careless and negligent conspirators.
They’re destabilizing the country; hindering nation-building; undermining PH-US relations, and; obstructing the campaign against drugs, crime and corruption. All because they’re sore losers? Or because they represent vested interests that refuse to give way to the national interest and common good?
The thing speaks for itself. Let the law take its course.

I am sure that their agenda in creating this alliance is to ouster our president. They think that the international community are more sympathetic to them if they use human rights issues. All the members of this group can only help with the finances. I doubt it very much if they will stop their activities and daily routines in life just to come to the Philippines to master their plans. They are merely opportunists and social climbers that wants to become one of the group and associated with Loida Lewis. They crave attention and wanted to belong. I was thinking of ignoring the group and do not give them the credit of fame. But I on the other hand , wanted to expose them so others in abroad are aware of these ponies.
On my Facebook page on December 22, 2016, I posted all the photos that John Shinn III claimed are his “L.A. Zamboanga Times exclusive photos” as if he was able to acquire them through a special source. Rafael Alunan III is a FB friend and so he received my FB post on the same day I posted the photos of the Christmas Party at my home with Loida Nicolas-Lewis, the national chair of US Pinoys for Good Governance since 2010, as our special guest. So I don’t know where Alunan can claim with surprise that the article shows “more incriminating names, photos, places, motives”. The article also falsely claimed that Inquirer columnists Randy David and Benjamin Pimentel attended the Christmas Party in order to support narrative that the Inquirer is behind the plot to “oust” Duterte. Is that what is “trending”? Fake news?
