Aquino’s June 8, 2012 meeting with Obama to beg for US intervention. The dour-faced Obama probably thought: ‘What part of ‘No’ doesn’t he understand’?
I am reprinting here a piece I wrote on this subject in August 2018 and which was also published in my book Debunked: Uncovering Hard Truths about EDSA, Martial Law, Marcos, Aquino, with a Special Section on the Duterte Presidency. The piece was entitled “Aquino, Del Rosario begged US to use its military in Scarborough crisis.” Neither Aquino and his officials nor the US has denied anything reported in the article.
