Miriam Defensor-Santiago. The feisty and confrontational senator revealed an alleged assassination plot against President Arroyo by no less than prayerful former president Corazon Aquino and Senate President Drilon.According to Santiago, the plan to kill the President was supposed to be carried out by October 15, if the oust-Arroyo move did not materialize within the said deadline. She said she got the information from a \u201cchattering\u201d relative of the Senate President. Drilon and Mrs. Aquino denied the allegations, describing Santiago\u2019s story as \u201cfantastic,\u201d \u201cabsurd,\u201d and a product of the senator\u2019s very fertile imagination.Santiago\u2019s mind-boggling expose was the headline of the Inquirer and front-page story of the Star and The Daily Tribune on October 2. The Manila Bulletin used the story for page 1 but focused on Drilon\u2019s denial and call for sobriety. The Manila Times reported on a plot to oust the President based on an intelligence report, whose existence was denied by the military a few days later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmfr-phil.org\/2005\/11\/25\/he-said-she-said-reporting\/\">&#8220;He said, she said&#8221; reporting | Center for Media Freedom &amp; Responsibility<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ante insofar as intrigue-laden stories are concerned was upped by Sen.
