Philippine leaders deny any coup threat, affirming loyalty to President Marcos despite retired officers' calls for his removal.

On October 6, 2025, Acting Philippine National Police Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. stated there is no basis for removing President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., asserting no PNP personnel have sought to withdraw support. He confirmed high morale, denied internal dissent, and emphasized the president’s legitimacy and anti-corruption efforts, particularly in flood control projects. Similar statements were made by AFP Chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., who acknowledged retired officers' calls for Marcos’s removal but confirmed active-duty forces remain loyal, upholding constitutional order.
