Duterte slams govt for stifling dissent

In an open letter to residents of Tacloban, the bailiwick of the Marcos-allied Romualdez clan, Duterte said the cancellation of the Maisug Rally highlighted the administration's policy of stifling peaceful dissent.'This is for all those whose flights have been canceled, travel to the city has been restricted, and normal activities have been disrupted by unscheduled power interruptions and obstruction in the use of the Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Plaza,' Duterte said.

He said this was not the first time the government tried to stop similar rallies. They succeeded in Bulacan but failed to do so in Davao City, Cebu City, Tagum, Davao del Norte and Dumaguete City, Duterte said.'Innocent government workers were either relieved or suspended as collateral damage to these rallies, including Davao del Norte Gov. Edwin Jubahib and Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama.
