Ayon kay Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo, biniberipika na ito ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
Sinabi ni Panelo na anumang usapin na nakaapekto sa national interest at national security ay sadyang nakaaalarma.
“Of course, that goes without saying. All we can say is we in the government is always concerned in any issue affecting the national interest and national security,” ani Panelo.
Pero sa ngayon, puro espekulasyon pa lamang ang mga pahayag ni Lacson.
Wala pa naman aniyang naibibigay na ulat sina Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana at National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon na nakapasok na ang mga Chinese na sundalo sa Pilipinas.
“If that is validated, then we will make our appropriate response. Until such time, it’s just speculation,” dagdag pa nito.
