Lorenzana said the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are stable institutions, satisfied with the way the President is running the country. On Duterte’s allegation that his political foes are recruiting active soldiers to join a destabilization plot, Lorenzana said such report is under validation. “As I said, I think the proper context is that he’s making the challenge because he’s sure they won’t get support,” Roque said. “But I think the President, by saying so, remains confident that there is no threat to his administration,” he pointed out.
