AFP said Brawner's statement was about efforts to 'upset the stability' of the government and not a destabilization plot.
MANILA — The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Sunday said it is validating reports of efforts to "upset" the Marcos Jr. administration but no plot in place to destabilize government.
Aguilar said Brawner's statement was about efforts to "upset the stability" of the government and not a destabilization plot. Pressed further, the AFP spokesperson said, "I cannot add details actually, because I am not privy to those discussions." "All I can say is we don't have a threat. There is no plot to speak of and the AFP will be professional and will remain loyal to its Constitution," he added.
He said that the uniformed services may have had issues with government attempts to tinker with their pensions, but that these have been resolved. Earlier this year, destabilization plot rumors also surfaced following the sudden replacement of its chief of staff.
