PARA kay Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, malabong sumulong ang itinutulak na revolutionary government ng ilang tagasuporta ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Ito aniya ay dahil ang panawagan na revgov ay kailangan na manggaling sa mga tao at hindi sa isang organisasyon lamang.

“It is an idea which is pregnant with repercussion, not the least whether or not the forces of society are ready for it,” aniya.

“If it is a workable concept, it may be late in the day. Moreover, the call of a revolutionary government must come from the people and not from a single organization or an individual,” ani
Sec. Panelo.

“It must be an overwhelming call, and there is no present perceptible people’s clamor for such,” dagdag na pahayag nito.

Bagaman ang Pangulo aniya ay nabanggit ito sa isang pagkakataon ay kaagad naman itong nagbigay ng paglilinaw at sinabi na kung papayagan lamang ng Saligang Batas.

“While the President may have at one time in the campaign or in another in one of his speeches, expressed a need for it, he was quick to qualify it as only if all others means constitutionally allowed to effect a radical change in the social, political and economic structure fail,” ayon kay Sec. Panelo.

“Presently PRRD is effecting the necessary changes in our country and succeeding despite the opposite view of a boisterous minority. For academic discussion, it is a titillating idea for discourse,”
pahayag pa nito.

Samantala, nananatiling nakatuon ang atensyon ng pamahalaan na tugunan ang matinding epekto ng COVID-19 crisis sa bansa.

Ayon kay Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, malaya ang Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC) na maghayag ng kanilang opinyon na bumuo ng isang revolutionary government na pamumunuan ni Pangulong Duterte.

“The call to establish a revolutionary government came from a private group and the organizers are free to publicly express their opinion,” pahayag ni Roque.

Aniya, nakatuon ang pansin ng administrasyon sa pagpapagaan ng epekto ng COVID-19 sa socioeconomic at hindi sa revgov.

Nitong Sabado, nagtipon sa Clark Freeport, Pampanga ang grupo para talakayin ang revolutionary government.

Kapwa pinadalhan ng imbitasyon sina PNP chief Archie Gamboa at Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana pero hindi dumalo ang mga ito. (CHRISTIAN  DALE)
