Coup Rumors Crumble Before AFP’s Loyalty 

admin October 2, 2025

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.

                               — Japanese martial artist and founder of the martial art aikido Morihei Eushiba

THE chairman emeritus of four respected civic-oriented organizations advocating for patriotism and liberty, civic leader Dr. Jose Antonio Goitia has thrown his full support behind the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as he commended its strong stand against rumors of destabilization and coup plots being planned against the administration of President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.

According to Goitia, “the stories about a coup are pure lies” as members of his four civic groups Alyansa ng Bantay sa Kapayapaan at Demokrasya (ABKD), People’s Alliance for Democracy and Reforms (PADER), Liga Independencia Pilipinas (LIPI), and Filipinos Do Not Yield (FDNY) Movement expressed their complete trust and confidence to President Marcos Jr. 

“The AFP has made it clear. They are loyal to the Constitution, loyal to their Commander-in-Chief and loyal to the Filipino people. No rumor can break that commitment,” he pointed out. 

The AFP recently warned it “will not take (any destabilization plot) sitting down” following malicious claims that a coup against PBBM went viral and spread online. The military stressed that no such plot exists, denouncing the rumors as deliberate attempts to create distrust.

Goitia agreed, saying these were classic disinformation tactics meant to divide the country: “Those who spread these rumors are not patriots. They want chaos. They want to gamble with the nation’s stability while ordinary Filipinos are simply working hard to feed their families. That is sabotage, plain and simple.”

However, he announced that the real enemy is not the phantom coup plots but rather the widespread corruption in government that has shaken the very foundation of the bureacracy. 

“Let us be honest. The fight that matters is the fight against corruption. That is where the nation bleeds, that is where the people suffer. The Marcos administration has made this its battle, and that is why some sectors want to distract us with talk of destabilization. They want us looking at shadows while the real disease fester,” he stressed. 

To this threat, the civic leader highlighted the professionalism of the armed forces which he praised for its loyalty: “This is not the era of coup plots. Our soldiers know their duty to defend the Republic, not destroy it. The military stands united, and that unity is our strength.”

For Goitia, the real message is clear and this clearly states that the administration, the military, and the people remain firmly together as one nation united strongly to uphold our freedom and independence.

“Every rumor we expose, every lie we reject, makes our democracy stronger. President Marcos has put the country on the path of recovery. Those who try to derail that are not only attacking the President. They are attacking the Filipino people,” he asserted. 

In ending, Goitia expounded one concrete fact: “The truth is simple. The AFP is loyal. Our institutions are solid. And our people are behind their President. The Republic will not be shaken.”
