Palace: No need for loyalty check among police, military

Malacañang, through Palace Press Officer Usec. Atty. Claire Castro, stated that President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is confident in the loyalty of the Philippine police and military forces following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Castro emphasized that there is no necessity for a loyalty check among security forces, asserting that the current administration's actions are in line with the law.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has officially dismissed circulating rumors about personnel resignations as a show of support for Duterte.

The AFP is urging the public to exercise critical discernment and refrain from spreading unverified information.

Similarly, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has also denied reports of resignations from its ranks aimed at backing Duterte during his legal proceedings at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Former President Duterte was arrested on Tuesday morning subsequent to an ICC arrest warrant for murder charges related to his administration's anti-drug campaign, which is classified as a crime against humanity and reportedly led to the deaths of at least 6,000 individuals.
