Marcos says command conference not a 'loyalty check'


There is no such thing as a loyalty check, President Marcos said as he denied conducting a loyalty check during the last command conference with the police force at Camp Crame.

Marcos also said he does not even understand how one does a loyalty check because it is not a practice in the police and military.

"Hindi ko naiintindihan ang term na 'yan (I don't understand that term) because I don't know how you conduct a loyalty check. At least not when you call a command conference. Because in the military, the police, we don't have that," Marcos said in an ambush interview

"Wala kaming ganoon (We do not have that), I only hear it in the media. So I was just wondering how do you define a loyalty check? Anyway, it's just a stupid question," Marcos added.  

The President led a command conference at Camp Crame in Quezon City last week. It came amid the political tensions between Marcos and his former ally Vice President Sara Duterte.
