VERA FILES FACT CHECK: KULANG SA KONTEKSTO ang pahayag ni AFP Chief Brawner tungkol sa umuugong na ‘destabilization’

Armed Forces Chief Romeo Brawner Jr. says he was taken out of context when news reports quoted him telling soldiers about destabilization efforts against the Marcos administration.

Needs context

Brawner and AFP Spokesman Medel Aguilar clarified that the destabilization efforts have not developed into a plot that’s ready to be executed to topple President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
