DILG warns anti-corruption protesters vs seditious remarks
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will investigate statements made at a recent rally that called for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s ouster.
During the United People's Initiative (UP) rally at the People Power Monument, several speakers urged Marcos to resign or for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to withdraw their support.
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that such calls are "close to inciting sedition" and have no place in civil society.
Remulla emphasized that the DILG will pursue truth, accountability, and justice through due process.
Cavite 4th district Representative Kiko Barzaga was present on the second day of the UP protest, where he affirmed that the military and government agencies must withdraw support from Marcos.
