MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Tuesday confirmed the communist rebels’ plans to oust President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/p>\n

Col. Edgard Arevalo, AFP spokesperson, said they learned of the plot based on recovered or captured documents.<\/p>\n

“It was based sa mga (from) recovered documents,” Arevalo stressed.<\/p>\n

Arevalo, however, declined to give comments on when and where these documents were obtained or captured.<\/p>\n

“Hindi ko na muna ia-annnounce sa ngayon (I will not announce it for now),” he added.<\/p>\n

The AFP spokesperson noted that the threat is considered credible as it came from rebel documents and that the military cannot take chances on the matter.<\/p>\n

“We cannot take chances, it’s a threat not only to the liberties of our people (or) in the life of our President, we in the department have to take that seriously,” Arevalo stressed.<\/p>\n

Also, he refused to answer on whether other groups are aligning themselves with Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) for this plot.<\/p>\n

“I’m not privy about other groups if there are other groups,” the AFP spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the CPP-National Democratic Front has plans to oust Duterte which will culminate this coming October.<\/p>\n

The latter is among the seven other reasons why the defense chief is pushing for the termination of peace talks with the rebel group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
