The Presidential Communications Office on Thursday said reports circulating on social media that Department of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro has quit from his post are was just rumors meant to sow disunity within the agency.
In a statement, PCO Acting Secretary Cesar Chavez said President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s full trust and confidence on Teodoro has never wavered.
Chavez said the misinformation only attempts to create “disunity” within the DND.
“Rumors to the contrary are pathetic attempts to sow disunity in an organization united in protecting our people and defending our territory,” Chavez said.
Chavez stressed that politicking within the DND should never have a place in the agency.
“Busy as they are with their mission, we should spare our fighting men of the corrosive politicking that has no place in their ranks,” he added. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
