MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – While standing firm and defiant amid calls for his resignation, Philippines President NoyNoy Aquino has reportedly come up with an exit strategy, just in case.

Political, religious and activist groups have demanded that the embattled president step down due to his inability to effectively manage the government.  The calls for his resignation have escalated since allegations have surfaced regarding his ‘role’ in the slaying of the 44 police officers (PNP-SAF)  during a ‘misencounter’ with rebel forces in the southern island of Mindanao.

According to inside sources at Malacañang, the presidential palace, Aquino is looking at an exit strategy similar to what happened in 1986, when then President Ferdinand E. Marcos fled to Hawaii after the people power uprising.

The same sources said that instead of fleeing to Hawaii, Aquino is looking to be exiled in a new South Pacific island in Tonga.

This new island recently formed as a result of an underwater volcanic eruption off the coast of Tonga last month.  Experts believe a volcano exploded underwater and expanded until an island formed.

The experts also believe that the “new” island is expected to erode back into the ocean in a matter of months.  So Aquino needs to act on his exit strategy soon before the island disappears.
