Malacanang on Thursday said there is no need for President Rodrigo Duterte to conduct loyalty check both in the military and police after he revealed that ‘yellow’ group wanted to oust him from power.
“Not necessarily, the President is very secure. He know that he’s working well,” Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Assistant Secretary Anna Marie Banaag replied when asked during a press briefing if President Duterte is making any counter moves.
Banaag said President Duterte knows that he has the support of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) as well as by the majority of the Filipino in his campaign against illegal drugs, corruption and criminality.
“It is not all about EJK (extra judicial killings). Governing the Philippines is not all about that. It’s all about a lot of things concerning the Filipino people and alleviating their plight,” she explained.
Last Wednesday, President Duterte said the yellow group, referring to the political color of Liberal Party (LP), wanted him ousted to allow LP chairperson and Vice President Leni Robredo to take over the presidency.
