This was how Philippine Army chief Lt. Gen. Macairog Alberto described the reported coup plot against President Duterte’s administration. Only from these talks that we heard of it,” Alberto said before the weekend on the reported coup plot claim that originated from Communist Party of the Philippines founding chairman Jose Ma. The Army chief explained that events and conditions in the past that pushed some members of the military to destabilize governments have entirely changed for the better under the present dispensation. Insofar as the Philippine Army is concerned, Alberto said there have been no reports that soldiers are being recruited to destabilize the government. “They cannot sweet-talk our soldiers anymore because they will be reported immediately to us,” Alberto said.
