Ex-soldiers, cops group says 'RevGov' illegal, baseless
Retired military and police officials under the group As Advocates for National Interest (ANI) have rejected calls to establish a revolutionary government, citing it as baseless and illegal.
The group stated that such a move would only worsen the suffering of Filipinos, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ANI stressed the importance of national unity under the existing Constitution and the flag.
They believe that establishing a revolutionary government through authoritarian and undemocratic means would undermine the country's institutions, including the legislative and judiciary.
This statement follows the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee's (MRRD-NECC) assembly where they signed a manifesto to push for a revolutionary government.
