Jose Almonte: We planned the whole action mainly under two offices: the Ministry of National Defense and the office of Gen. Ramos, then PC Chief and AFP Vice Chief of Staff. His closest aides and the chief of his security, Sonny Razon, were members of our core group; they kept the general informed of meetings and developments.
Ani General Jose Almonte, "Dalawang opisina ang nagsabwatang mag-alsa: ang Ministry of National Defense (MND) at ang opisina ni General Ramos na AFP Vice Chief of Staff at hepe ng PC at INP. Kabilang sa core group ng RAM ang pinakamalalapít na aides ni Ramos tulad ni Sonny Razon; alam ni Ramos lahat ng nangyayari."
