Philippine military chief Romeo Brawner Jnr addressed concerns regarding potential political instability. Eight retired generals and colonels contacted him recently, urging action against widespread corruption within the country. Sources indicate this request was a veiled attempt to initiate a “soft coup” – a withdrawal of support from President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr and a shift towards Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio. Brawner stated he responded to the call by reaffirming the government’s commitment to maintaining order and stability. The discussion focused on preventing potential disruption to the administration’s policies.
