‘Put the Little Girl to Sleep’ GMA Death Threat: Real or Laughable?

Is Gloria Arroyo in danger? Is someone out to kill her? An alleged plot against GMA has been bared by the Arroyo camp. ‘Put the Little Girl to Sleep’ is the alleged code name of the plot and, according to GMA spokesperson Elena Bautista-Horn, the plot was revealed to them by someone from the Aquino government.

“May mga nagsumbong na naman po sa amin na nasa administrasyon ngayon na may mga masamang balakin. Mayroon sila ngayong operation called ‘Put The Little Girl To Sleep.’ Ni-report na po sa amin ‘yan kaya kami ay nababahala kasi nakikita naman natin kung gaano ang insistence ni [Justice] Secretary [Leila] de Lima at [Comelec] Chairman [Sixto] Brillantes na ang dating Pangulo ay iligay sa government hospital,” said Horn.

Allegedly, Gloria Arroyo ‘will be put to sleep’ by means of food or medicines administered to her.

“Alam rin po natin na lumabas sa column ni Mon Tulfo na sinabi daw po ni Secretary Butch Abad na kung pababa-biyahihen si Mrs. Arroyo eh mabuti na daw na barilin siya sa tarmac. So napagtatagpi-tagpi namin ang storya na talagang parang may agenda na hindi maganda para sa dating pangulo,” she said.

Elena Bautista Horn was talking about the Mon Tulfo column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on November 21 wherein it was alleged that Department of Budget Management Butch Abad said “Why don’t we just shoot her at the tarmac?” during a Cabinet meeting.

Is there really a plot against GMA? Or is this another desperate attempt from the Arroyo camp to avoid hospital arrest in favor of house arrest? Sounds like it to me. For one thing, it is highly unbelievable that the Aquino governmental would go to the trouble of undertaking investigations, filing charges, defying the Supreme Court only to kill her in detention. It sounds too stupid to be a government plot.

The Arroyo cam is getting desperate, and they are coming out with any means, no matter how ignorant it sounds, to get GMA off the hook.
