While talks of a possible coup attempt have yet to die down, the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Thursday made another logistics run to Metro Manila.
AFP public affairs office head Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said military trucks escorted by armored vehicles brought the equipment from the pier in Manila to Camp Aguinaldo.
This came a day after the AFP delivered "mission-essential" equipment from Northern Luzon and Southern Luzon commands.
But Zagala declined to give details on the logistics transported for "security reasons."
"That's a logistics run. We brought in supplies from the pier. We cant give you details for security reason. That's fully coordinated and authorized. From the pier, they were brought to Camp Aguinaldo," he said.
On Wednesday, the military allayed fears of a destabilization attempt after a convoy with an armored personnel carrier and military trucks were seen on Epifanio delos Santos Avenue.
Zagala told radio dzBB Wednesday they had not monitored any development that could be connected to a destabilization plot as claimed by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
He added the Armed Forces has a high level of professionalism and that soldiers' grievances had already been addressed through "various reforms."
