Malacañang chastizes Rodrigo Duterte: Don’t insult the military
Malacañang has condemned former President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged call for the military to overthrow President Marcos and install his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, into the presidency, deeming it unacceptable.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin stated that violently seizing power through murder, chaos, or rebellion is not a legitimate way to become president.
Duterte claimed there was a 'fractured governance' and questioned the military's support for President Marcos Jr., challenging them to correct the situation.
The OES criticized Duterte's alleged motive as selfish, particularly his appeal to the Armed Forces to betray their oath.
While Duterte did not explicitly call for a coup d'etat, the OES expressed shock at his remarks and advised him to respect the Constitution and desist from irresponsible actions.
