Palace: AFP looking into destabilization attempts
Malacañang confirmed that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is investigating alleged attempts to destabilize the Marcos administration.
The investigation follows a viral social media post by columnist Mon Tulfo, which named several personalities allegedly involved.
The list reportedly includes Vice President Sara Duterte, Davao Rep. Paolo Duterte, and former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson as alleged funders.
Other individuals mentioned in the post include retired Gen. Romeo Poquiz, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong, and Col. La Chica, who was allegedly involved in the Vice President's confidential funds.
Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that the AFP's intelligence community is monitoring and validating the claims.
Castro emphasized that while freedom of expression is a right, investigations are necessary to determine if any statements cross into destabilization.
