Military denies ''speculation'' of ''unrest'' following Duterte's arrest

2025/3/13 英字

"Speculations of military action or unrest" following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte "has no basis", the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said on Wednesday.

"We remain to be solid and professional, unequivocally committed to the chain of command and the democratic institutions of the Philippines," AFP spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said.

"The arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte is a matter of law enforcement, and therefore, outside the AFP's direct purview. The AFP remains strictly professional and non-partisan," she added.

Padilla noted that while the security situation remains stable, the AFP is actively monitoring developments and is prepared to respond appropriately to any threats to peace and order.

"We assure the public that we maintain a high state of readiness," she said.

"We call on all Filipinos to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law. Let us prioritize unity and allow the legal processes to unfold. We have full confidence in our institutions to handle this matter with due diligence," she added.

On the other hand, Army Chief Lt. Gen. Roy Galido told all its soldiers to "just follow the chain of command".

"For the Philippine Army, we remain very professional and we follow the chain of command. And we focus more on why we exist, we exist to protect the sovereignty of our country and most especially, preparation for our defense," he said.

"Just follow the chain of command. I will lead you to our mission accomplishment," he added. Robina Asido/DMS
