JUSTICE Secretary Vitaliano N. Aguirre II emphasized that there is nothing wrong with President Rodrigo R. Duterte declaring a Revolutionary Government, a day after several rallies organized to support the move fizzled out due to the lack of attendees.

“There is nothing wrong with that,” Mr. Aguirre told reporters in an interview after the launch of Uniform Manual on Time Allowances and Services of Sentence on Friday. “In other words, we are free to express our opinion.”

He added: “There are people who believe that a revolutionary government will hasten reforms that’s why all of us have the right to express our own opinion.”

However, a statement released by Presidential Spokesperson Harry L. Roque Jr., said that the President has already ruled out a revolutionary government.

“The President has earlier said that he does not want a revolutionary government,” Mr. Roque said. “This, however, does not mean he would prevent citizens from expressing their support for a revolutionary government,” he added. — Andrea San Juan
