President Marcos said the government remains to be on "solid ground" despite alleged coup d'etat attempts, stressing that his administration has the support of key and "power centers" of society.

"When you ask me how confident I am, all I can say is that in our assessment, we are, and the administration is still very much on solid ground in terms of support from the different sectors of society," Marcos said after the oath-taking ceremony of newly-elected officers of the Malacañang Press Corps at Malacañan Palace on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

The President also said that he is confident that the government continues  to enjoy the support of the important sectors of society.

"[W]e're confident that the important sectors of society, the power centers of society and of the administration are very supportive still of the advocacies of the administration, the programs of the administration and we will continue to work very hard to make sure that we are doing what people want," Marcos said.

He acknowledged that his administration must work "very hard to continue to earn that support from them."

The President, however, admitted that "it is dangerous" for a chief executive to be complacent over alleged destabilization plot. Thus, he said, he continues to listen to everyone, and to keep his doors open for dialogues.

"We always go to them and say what can we do to accommodate your advocacy or some of the things that they would like the national government to do. And so that's what we are doing," he said.

"And you know it is never, it doesn't serve any, it is dangerous for someone in my position to be complacent," he added.

He also said he is "never confident" that every sector of the government, including the military, would remain loyal to the administration. So, he must continue to listen to them and engage them in dialogue.

"Kung may reklamo, bukas naman kami. Kung magreklamo kayo sabihan niyo lang kami (If you have complaints, we are open. If you are complaining, just tell me)," he said.

"If it's something that we have to attend to, we will. Because we try to listen to everyone. And so that's the only way. That's the only real way that you can keep the support of people in different sectors," he added.
