MANILA - Former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III said Monday his camp had nothing to do with alleged attempts to destabilize the current government.

"Hindi sa amin nagmumula iyon. Baka dapat tumingin sila sa paligid nila," he said in response to reporters' questions.Ninoy Aquino in Parañaque.

(It did not come from us. Maybe they should look around them.)

Aquino, whose Liberal Party is associated with the opposition, said he had offered help to the administration, but he was refused and he could not do anything about it.

He said he wondered why all he did during his time was now being seen in a negative light.

Aquino also said he saw no basis for President Rodrigo Duterte to declare a revolutionary government since the processes provided for in the Constitution were still working.

"Napakalakas ng executive at pinadadama kung gaano kalakas ang executive so kung yung revolutionary government talagang yung buong sistema ay nag-fail na hindi magawa ang dapat gawin yun baka pwede pag isipan, ngayon hindi ko nakikita yun," he said.

(The executive is very powerful and it is being felt. Under a revolutionary government, the entire system fails and what needs to be done can't be done. I don't see that now.)

"May pangangailangan ba? Talaga bang hindi na madaan sa mga prosesong nakasaad sa ating saligang batas?"

(Is there a need? Can't we do it under constitutional processes?)

Aquino said he might take part in opposing the proposed revolutionary government but he would not take the lead.

"I will be taking part also but not in a central role."

Duterte had brought up the idea of a revolutionary government on several occasions, where he cited alleged destabilization plots against him, but he has since clarified his stand on it.
