Palace sees Chavit’s protest call vs Marcos as sedition
Malacañang has declared former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis "Chavit" Singson's call for a protest to oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as inciting to sedition.
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro, speaking as a lawyer, stated that provoking people to overthrow the President falls under inciting to sedition.
Castro mentioned that the Department of Justice has the authority to investigate the matter motu proprio.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines has also slammed Singson's call, rejecting any engagement in partisan politics.
The Palace official dismissed Singson's challenge to a debate with President Marcos and former Speaker Martin Romualdez concerning alleged anomalies in flood control projects.
Castro emphasized that the President is too busy with national matters and that action, not debate, is the solution to corruption.
