...the Marcos (former Philippine president) military orchestrated a series of bombing incidents and bomb threats to convince the middle classes of the need for the government to take drastic measures in the face of the threat not only to the daily routines but also to the very lives of the populace. Rep. Teddy Casino suspects that the bombings were meant to distract the attention of the people from “real issues and the threat of emergency rule”: The lack of conclusive information on the motives and perpetrators of the bombings reinforces the suspicion that either there is a failure of intelligence or the obfuscation is deliberately orchestrated to divert the public's attention from the real issues and the threat of emergency rule.
La falta de información concluyente sobre los motivos y los autores de las bombas refuerza la sospecha de que hay una falla en la inteligencia o que la confusión está siendo orquestada deliberadamente para distraer la atención pública de los verdaderos temas y la amenaza de un gobierno de emergencia.
