MANILA, Philippines — There are no threats at the moment serious enough to prompt President Duterte to declare a revolutionary government, his spokesman Harry Roque said yesterday. He stressed the Chief Executive still enjoys the support of a majority of Filipinos, based on recent surveys. The President enjoys 80 percent approval rating; he was duly elected; he had a margin of five million votes from the second highest candidate,” he said. So we see no reason to declare a revolutionary government,” he added. A revolutionary government is outside the Constitution… So if they opt for a revolutionary government, it is unconstitutional,” Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo of the CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Laity (ECL) said.
