PNP: No coup plot to oust Marcos
The Philippine National Police (PNP) acting chief, Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., stated that he sees no basis to oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Nartatez's statement came after Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. admitted that some retired military officers had urged the military to withdraw support from the commander-in-chief.
Nartatez confirmed that neither he nor his staff, including regional directors, have been approached by anyone regarding such calls.
He emphasized that President Marcos Jr. won the election with a majority vote, making any attempts to oust him baseless.
Nartatez also recalled that President Marcos Jr. himself had called for an end to corruption in flood control projects during his State of the Nation Address in July.
