The military said it has recovered laptop computers and other documents from 13 alleged members of Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA) in connection with the Red October plot that supposedly seeks to unseat President Rodrigo Duterte.

According to a report by Chino Gaston on “24 Oras”, Brig.Gen. Antonio Parlade,Jr., Armed Forces Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, claimed that these pieces of evidence were nabbed in a counter-insurgency operation in Northern Mindanao last July.

Other items confiscated were bank passbook, telephone and identification cards.

“From there, doon na namin nabuo na hindi lang pala dito sa Manila ang kanilang plano. Buong Pilipinas ang kanilang plano,” Parlade said.

The CPP had earlier denounced the AFP's claims as lies.

"This so-called Red October plot is nothing but an AFP invention. Like the rest of the AFP’s fakery, it is a poorly concocted story," the CPP said, adding that the military came up with the story as early as July.

The communist group said that the real aim of the government forces is "to justify the implementation of increasingly severe measures in the name of defeating the plot to target legitimate protest actions which express the sentiments of a disgruntled people."
