There are no current destabilization “plots” against President Marcos, the Armed Forces of the Philippines said Saturday, as AFP Chief Gen. Romeo Brawner insisted he was misquoted and taken out of context during a speech in Zamboanga City on Friday.
In Brawner’s message to the troops of the Western Mindanao Command, “he merely mentioned the reported efforts by certain individuals to upset the peace and stability that the country is enjoying right now under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,” Aguilar added. “If we say ‘plot’, that’s a plan that’s about to be executed. What I said during my statement was that we were hearing rumblings of destabilization efforts – that’s the specific word I used, so I did not use the word ‘plot’,” he explained.
In a separate statement, National Security Adviser Eduardo Año, who also served as AFP Chief before, reiterated that Brawner was misquoted or misinterpreted by the media.
