Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra says invasion and rebellion refer to armed actions by human beings, and not by non-living things like viruses.

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo floated Monday a novel — and likely controversial — legal theory that President Rodrigo Duterte can declare martial law on the basis of “invasion” of the novel coronavirus.

“There is an actual invasion of the coronavirus disease, which is pandemic. It threatens, in fact, the entire country, soWhile saying that the definition of “invasion” evolved over time, Panelo conceded that the framers of the Constitution only considered it to mean the forced entry of foreign military forces into the country.

Very dangerous that Panelo, this clueless fool, holds a high position in the government & does not know the constitution. There is an invasion in the West Philippine Sea by China. Lizardo, keep eating bananas & don't forget to gargle. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut! MaterialLaw

Maybe he saw the coronavirus under a microscope and saw that they are armed with rifles and grenades.

SC must clarify and specify what Invasion and Rebellion really mean is in the Constitution. Kaya nya lang yan nasabi dahil walang nakasaad sa batas na hindi invasion ang virus.

How embarrassing naman toh c panelo! Invasion by virus

Baka gusto sumali sa EB...Naknakan! Use invasion in the sentence lang ang peg! Or BDO lang na 'We Find Ways'? Haha Lazada Discount? Claim here:

May nagiisip pa na nakapwesto. Hallelujah. 😂

virus, nonliving things?! 😬

Me pinagdadaanan ba si Panelo?

COVID daw invasion. POGO daw BPO. Putanginang mga best and brightest

Ten points to Justice Guevarra

kelan pa naging solusyon ang martial law sa virus? i think the president has the best intention for the people, but clearly not his advisers.🤷🏻‍♀️ nonpartisanhere
