Malacañang on Friday assured that due process will be observed following the Philippine Army’s relief of Colonel Audie Mongao, who allegedly withdrew support for President Marcos.
The move came after a screenshot of Mongao’s message, saying “Enough is enough! The Filipino people [are] worth fighting for,” circulated online, though details of when and where it was sent remain unclear.
Army spokesperson Col. Louie Dema-ala said Mongao was placed on unassigned status to allow a thorough investigation by the Training Command.
Army Training Command chief Maj. Gen. Michael Logico added that possible administrative and criminal charges are being considered.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro emphasized that any accountability will be based on evidence and the law.
