Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Lt. Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang on Wednesday dismissed reports that the military will launch a coup against the duly elected government.
He stressed that the AFP remains loyal to the chain-of-command.
"There's no truth to that report," Catapang said.
The AFP chief stated that there is no need to conduct a loyalty check on all members of the AFP.
"We are all loyal to the duly constituted authorities, loyal to the flag, country and people. The AFP is a professional organization," he pointed out.
"We are all focused to out mandate our protecting the people and the state," Catapang concluded.
Earlier, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV claimed that former generals with ties to the former administration are planning to destabilize the government.
