May sapat na basehan para kay Cagayan de Oro City 2nd district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez na maghain ng reklamo sa House Commitee on Ethics, laban kay Davao del Norte 1st district Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez.
Ayon kay Rodriguez, hindi makatwiran ang apela ni Alvarez sa Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) na bawiin ang suporta kay Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
“Well, he is a friend, but if others are minded, then that can be a basis for a complaint in the ethics committee,” ani Rodriguez.
“We have a regularly elected officials of our country and the President was elected with a big majority, he has the support of our people…calling for…rebellion by the soldiers is uncalled for,” dagdag niya Rodgriguez
Nasa kamay naman na aniya ng ethics committee kung paano susuriin ang bigat ng mga pahayag ni Alvarez at ang reklamong ihahain dito kung mayroon man.
Kinontra rin ni Rodriguez si Alvarez at sinabi na hindi magiging mapayapa ang anumang pagtiwalag ng sandatahang lakas sa sinumang nakaupong pangulo.
“There is no such thing [as a peaceful and orderly withdrawal of support]…Because when you ask for a withdrawal of support, then there would be a conflict. Because those who will heed this advice and withdraw support, the others who are supporting the President would have to come in also and enforce the law, you see,” paliwanag niya.
Kung si Rodriguez and tatanungin, ‘seditious’ ang mga pahayag ni Alvarez.
Sinabi naman na ng Department of Justice na iimbestigahan nila ang insidente kung maituturing nga itong sedition o inciting to sedition. | ulat ni Kathleen Jean Forbes
