The public is warned in the strongest terms against a vile and malicious fabrication now circulating online, which alleges a supposed coup plot involving the CIA, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Secretary of National Defense.
This is an outright LIE. The AFP categorically states that this is dangerous disinformation—a deliberate attempt to poison the minds of our people, weaken the chain of command, and sow division between the Commander-in-Chief and the Armed Forces.
Let there be no doubt: the AFP remains loyal to the Constitution and will follow the chain of command. It is fully committed to defending the Republic—not betraying it.
We call on every Filipino to stand guard against lies:



Those who manufacture and spread such baseless stories are not patriots—they are traitors working to undermine peace, stability, and the integrity of our democratic institutions.
Truth is our defense. Unity is our strength. Disinformation has no place in our Republic.
