Palace confirms receiving ‘raw’ info on plot to kill pope in PHL

MALACAÑANG has confirmed receiving unverified information about the assassination attempt on Pope Francis when he was in a five-day visit to the Philippines last week.

“We were able to speak to those in the security establishments on that, and I was told that they were aware of that particular piece of unverified information that was passed on,” Palace Deputy Spokesman Abigail Valte said in a radio interview on Saturday.

“Aware po sila, although they did make it a point to establish that the information had no details and was unverified, but because of the situation, it was passed on anyway,” Valte told dzRB Radyo Ng Bayan.

The report was classified as a “raw” information that was passed on and that was received, without much details, she added.

The country’s security establishments exercise prudence and authorities look into those things and they take it into account, the Palace official said. Asked whether the measure to turn off cell-phone signals was related to the threat, Valte said the decision to turn off the signals was made even prior to the reception of the raw and unverified information.

A former military intelligence officer claimed there were two attempts to assassinate the pope during his visit in the Philippines —one in Manila and another in Tacloban, Leyte.

Saw a story from New Zealand earlier that made a reference to a possible attempt. Thank goodness nothing happened.

If anyone has any additional information, please post.

Of course he’s a target. He teaches the opposite of what much of the world wants to hear.
