| Not likely Sulu sultan acted alone |
| 2013-03-15 |
| It has now come to light that in the lead up to the Sabah "invasion", Jamalul Kiram III had been entertaining a string of rather interesting Filipino personalities at his home in a Manila suburb. There was, of course, Nur Misuari, the discredited former governor of Muslim Mindanao. And then there was Norberto Gonzales, national security adviser under former president Gloria Arroyo. Another colourful figure consorting with the sultan was Pastor "Boy" Saycon, a "political strategist" linked to Jose Cojuangco who had been a thorn at the side of his sister, the late president Corazon Aquino, and now of his nephew, President Benigno Aquino. Aquino has since launched an official investigation into a possible conspiracy linking at least some of these personalities to the Sabah misadventure. |
