Red October (plot)

Red October was an alleged ouster plot to remove Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. After winning the 2016 Philippine presidential election, Duterte started a controversial anti-drug campaign. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Duterte revealed a reported ouster plot called "Red October" on September 24, 2018. Vice President Leni Robredo, Senator Antonio Trillanes, and the Makabayan bloc denied their involvement in the plot. Three days later, a Chinese national was arrested in relation to the plot. A list of schools allegedly involved in the plot was released on October 4 by the AFP. The military claimed that the plot would continue in December, though the claims were denied.
