MANILA, Philippines — The National Security Council called on the Department of Justice to consider legal action against Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez after the ally of former leader Rodrigo Duterte told the military and the police to withdraw its support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Justice Secretary Jose Crispin Remulla on Tuesday ordered an investigation into the remarks of Alvarez to determine if they constitute sedition, incitement to sedition, or even rebellion. Incitement to sedition occurs when a person incites others to accomplish any of the acts that constitute sedition, either by speech, proclamation, emblem, or banner. It also involves uttering seditious words against the government or its officials.
“His words and deeds are a disservice to our men and women in uniform who risk their lives daily to safeguard our nation’s security, defend us from all manner of threats, and uphold the Constitution,” Año said.
