Palace: AFP ready to crush coup plotters

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 12): Palace: AFP ready to crush coup plotters

Malacanang on Thursday assured the Filipinos that the military is ready to face threats to national security.

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) head Herminio Coloma Jr. stressed this after Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago confirmed that she received information about a new coup plot allegedly being hatched by a well-known businessman.

Coloma said it is the duty of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to prevent and crush enemies of the state.

“At ginagampanan nila ang tungkuling ito sa lahat ng pagkakataon,” he said in a Palace press briefing.

Coloma noted that Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin confirmed the readiness of the AFP to perform its duty.

“Lahat ng mga banta laban sa estado ay tinututukan at ganap ang kahandaan ng ating Sandatahang Lakas laban sa mga bantang ‘yan,” he added.
