He also echoed the earlier statement of Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, who dismissed destabilization rumors as mere political noise outside the mandate of the military.

At present, the AFP is focused on providing necessary assistance to the PNP to ensure peace and order is maintained despite the scheduled protest movements.
