No Destabilization Of Duterte Government, AFP Says
No Destabilization – An official of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has said that it has not monitored any destabilization moves against President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration.
In a report by PhilStar, AFP Public Affairs Office chief Col. Edgard Arevalo said that there is no threat that has been monitored to destabilize the administration.
Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said in a report, Malacañang is taking such reports “seriously” as it is against the law.
“We take any destabilization moves seriously, whether it’s a rumor or A1 information; it is against the law. It’s inciting to rebellion and this has happened in the past,” Andanar said as quoted in the report.
But, Arevalo said that he is assuring that the armed forces have not overseen any group or personalities over the said destabilization plot.
“Nothing. This is why I am asking by whose group or who… we have no information about those things,” Arevalo said as quoted.
According to him, the armed forces has not monitored any “group or interest groups that could launch destabilization plots. We have not monitored such groups, including those of military retirees.”
Arevalo also clarified that even the active service men have no signs of any move to remove President Duterte from his current post.
Arevalo pointed out the military has grown to become more professional after, according to him, learning from the past.
“The Armed Forces of today has grown to become more professional. We have learned from our past experiences and we do not want another adventurism or destabilization efforts at the expense of our economy and our nation as a whole,” said Arevalo.
