CHARGE VS. RODY. Alliance of Concerned Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro holds up the grave threats complaint she filed against former President Rodrigo Duterte with the Quezon City Prosecutors Office on Tuesday. Beside her are legal counsels Rico Domingo and Tony La Viña . Manny PalmeroA militant lawmaker filed grave threat charges against former President Rodrigo Duterte after he allegedly threatened to kill her and called her a communist.
She was at her father’s wake when she learned about Duterte’s remark during an interview with local broadcaster SMNI on Oct. 10, which she said constituted the crime of “grave threats” under the Cybercrime Prevention Act. In her complaint, Castro said Duterte’s threats were “factually baseless and clearly malicious,” but she could not dismiss them as “figurative, joking, or otherwise benign.”
“It’s not a threat. Because a threat is: ‘I will kill you.’ But when you say ‘I want to kill you,’ that’s only expressing a desire,” Panelo said in an interview with ANC’s Dateline Philippines.
