October 01, 2025
|Business World Philippines
A PHILIPPINE military official on Tuesday dismissed rumors of a brewing coup, saying that troops would not participate in any attempt to overthrow President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
Reports of a possible military coup against Mr. Marcos on Sept. 21 circulated on social media as thousands of Filipinos took to the streets in the biggest protest in years over the multibillion-peso flood control scandal.
"These movements... [and] claims that there's some kind of plot are clearly unfounded," Philippine military spokeswoman Francel Margareth A. Padilla told a news briefing in Filipino. "There's no truth to them."
"The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) remains intact, professional and disciplined," she added.
