Marcos: I won’t allow destabilization, division in our nation

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday stressed that he would fend off any destabilization plot against his administration.

“We will also not allow agents within the country to destabilize our government and create division within our nation,” Marcos said during his Talk to Troops at Camp Edilberto Evangelista in Cagayan de Oro City.

“So, I urge all of you to continue to [demonstrate] your loyalty, patriotism, and service to your country. And let that love of country remain as your compass in your duty to our country and to our people,” he added. 

Marcos then called on the Philippine Army “to keep the momentum of their operations until the areas are completely cleared of terrorist influence.” 

The President further stressed the changing times and the new threats to the nation’s security.  

“I call on you to develop the skills and acquire [knowledge] to combat new forms of warfare, including those that extend up to the digital realm,” Marcos said. 

“We must be prepared to fight false narratives, disinformation, and digital operations that seek to sow conflict [against us] and among us,” he said. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
