'Some of them are former officers of the AFP, and I've spoken with some of them,' says AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Armed Forces of the Philippines chief General Romeo Brawner revealed that he had spoken with former military officers who were behind an alleged plot to oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and asked them not to involve active soldiers in their movement.
On Saturday, November 4, Colonel Medel Aguilar, AFP spokesperson, said in a statement that Brawner was “misquoted” when “he merely mentioned the reported efforts by certain individuals to upset the peace and stability that the country is enjoying right now” under President Marcos. “Therefrom, General Brawner again reminded all AFP personnel to remain professional and loyal to their oath to protect the people and the State,” he added.
In an interview with journalists on Saturday, Aguilar said Brawner had been giving this reminder to troops whenever he talked to them, so his speech at the Westmincom was “nothing new” on this, kaya lang ” and was only “sensationalized.”Watch Brawner’s November 3 speech. –
