The Western Mindanao Command on Monday announced that it
remains committed to support duly constituted authorities amidst all
allegations and controversies surrounding the circumstances of the Mamasapano
incident.
"We remain resolute in working for internal peace and
security and recognize that any ploy of destabilization is against the
constitutional mandate to preserve the national security of the state,"
Capt. Rowena Muyuela, Western Mindanao Command spokesperson, said.
She said that the Command issued this statement in the wake
of the Mamasapano, Maguindanao incident where members of the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters killed 44 members of
the Special Action Force last Jan. 25 during an encounter stemming from the
operation to neutralize Malaysian terror bomber Zulkipli bin Hir alias Marwan.
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson Col.
Restituto Padilla earlier said all efforts to bring down the present government
with a coup d' etat will fail.
He attributes this to the high degree of dedication and
professionalism in the military today among the factors.
"We firmly believe all these efforts will fail. First,
because of the high degree of dedication and professionalism of our AFP today;
Second, majority of our citizens no longer buy these kind of efforts and easily
see through it's real intent which is, that all these are political in nature
with an end view for 2016; and third, the administration still enjoys a high
degree of support," Padilla stressed.
He also clarified that he does not have any information or
reports on the claimed coup in his possession as talks are coming from the
outside.
"However, talks within military circles say that a
number of them have served in previous administrations and have pushed various
reform agendas previously as cover for their efforts," the AFP spokesperson
stressed.
