No destabilization plot vs. gov’t so far: AFP spokesman

MANILA — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has yet to verify or uncover any destabilization plot against President Rodrigo Duterte and the government.

“We will be conferring with other government agencies. But in so far as the AFP is concerned, we have not monitored any such destabilization plan,” AFP chief of public affairs, Col. Edgard Arevalo, said late Thursday.

Arevalo reiterated that the military would not allow any attempt to undermine the stability of the government.

“We will frustrate any effort that will cause the disruption of our democratic way of life. That is, and shall always be, our commitment to the nation and our people,” he added.

Earlier reports claimed that a still unidentified group is attempting to destabilize the Duterte administration. (Priam Nepomuceno/PNA)
