Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong on Monday strongly denied broadcaster Ramon Tulfo’s accusation linking him to alleged destabilization efforts against the Marcos administration.
In a Facebook post dated November 10, Magalong reaffirmed his loyalty to the Filipino people and the Republic of the Philippines.
“Ang nagpapahina sa bansa ay hindi ang mga nananawagan ng pananagutan, kundi ang nagpapakalat ng kasinungalingan at walang basehang paratang sa ngalan ng pamamahayag,” he said.
He added, “Mananatili akong tapat sa pagtataguyod ng katotohanan, katarungan, makataong pamumuno, at mabuting pamahalaan para sa isang bansang matatag sa integridad, pagkakaisa, at katatagang may dangal at prinsipyo.”
Tulfo earlier alleged that Magalong was among several personalities involved in a supposed plot to destabilize the government, along with Romeo Poquiz, Orly De Leon, Gerald Bantag, Col. Lachica, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, Atty. Vic Rodriguez, and others.
Tulfo also claimed that Vice President Sara Duterte, Rep. Paolo Duterte, and former Gov. Chavit Singson were allegedly financing the movement.
