Rep. Barzaga faces sedition raps over online remarks

Cavite Representative Kiko Barzaga is facing inciting to sedition and rebellion complaints filed by the Philippine National Police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group at the Quezon City prosecutor's office.

Barzaga, who gained online prominence for his "shitposting" and pro-Duterte narratives, confirmed the authenticity of the subpoena requiring his appearance for a preliminary investigation on November 18 and 25.

The inciting to sedition and rebellion complaints are reportedly related to his online remarks against authorities, possibly under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Vice President Sara Duterte has denied any involvement with Barzaga's actions.
