Brawner, speaking at the headquarters of the Western Mindanao Command, had urged troops to ignore potential calls from the unnamed group to join.
MANILA — The Armed Forces of the Philippines has walked back comments on a supposed destabilization plot by retired military officers, saying Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. — AFP chief of staff — was "simply misquoted" in his remarks at a change of command ceremony in Zamboanga City on Friday.
In his remarks on Friday, Brawner said of the supposed group of retired officers that "it is their right to do that because we are in a democracy, but please do not involve the active personnel of the AFP." Allegations of destabilization attempts were common during the previous Duterte administration but there has been little talk of plots against Marcos Jr.
