By J.Lo
"Brawner merely mentioned reported efforts by certain individuals to upset peace and stability country is enjoying right now under leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr." Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) clarified no confirmed destabilization plot against administration of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
AFP spokesperson Medel Aguilar addressed issue, saying Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. was "misquoted" in reports claiming he revealed destabilization plot hatched by group of retired military officers during change of command ceremony at Western Mindanao Command .
However, AFP acknowledged concerns about certain individuals trying to disrupt peace and stability of government.
"General Romeo S Brawner Jr., Chief of Staff, AFP, was simply misquoted," Aguilar said in statement.
During Brawner's speech, he warned active AFP personnel against joining movements led by retired officials due to alleged recruitment efforts.
"Many were saying to change president because of many reasons, some are saying there will be coup d'état again, sadly, some of them were former officers of AFP and I talked to some of them… I said to them, 'Sir, you have right to do that because we are in democracy but please do not involve active personnel of Armed Forces of the Philippines,'" Brawner said.
AFP confirmed discussions with retired officials involved.
Aguilar explained Brawner's main point was to stress need for AFP personnel to stay professional and loyal in their duty to protect people and State.
