FAKE news ang kumakalat na balita sa social media na nagbitiw na diumano sa kanyang tungkulin si Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.
Ayon sa Malacanang, hindi nagbitiw si Teodoro at nanatili ang pagtitiwal ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos dito.
“Rumors to the contrary are pathetic attempts to sow disunity in an organization united in protecting our people and defending our territory,” ayon kay Presidential Communications Office Secretary Cesar Chavez.
“Busy as they are with their mission, we should spare our fighting men of the corrosive politicking that has no place in their ranks,” dagdag pa nito.
Itinanggi rin ng departamento kung saan nanunungkulan si Teodoro.
“There is no truth to the rumor perpetrated by certain sectors online about the supposed resignation of Secretary of National Defense Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. We call on those who purposely propagate unfounded lies to be circumspect and refrain from spreading misinformation and disinformation,” pahayag naman ni DND spokesperson Arsenio Andolong.
