Marcos has thumbed down such reports, although he also admitted that retired military and police officials may be joining efforts to undermine his administration.

“I don’t see—wala kaming report na in the ranks. Iyong mga retired baka mayroon, mayroong mga gumagalaw, sumasama sa mga destab na ginagawa,” he told reporters in an ambush interview on May 10.

(We don’t have a report within the ranks. Retired individuals might be the ones moving or joining destabilization efforts.)
