MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte’s remarks against calls for a revolutionary government (RevGov) should be seen as a “cease-and-desist” order. This was according to Senator President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto, who slammed as a “dangerous experiment” efforts made by a pro-Duterte group to establish a RevGov. ADVERTISEMENTThe President has already dismissed these calls, claiming he has no links with the said group. In reaction to this, Recto said: “The President has spoken.”“It should be read as a cease-and-desist order in big, bold letters by those pushing for this dangerous experiment,” the senator said. Vice President Leni Robredo also branded efforts to establish a RevGov as “nonsense” and “illegal” while Senator Joel Villanueva urged the government to charge its proponents.
