Presidential spokesman Harry Roque on Monday said that there was no \u201cfactual or legal basis\u201d for President Rodrigo Duterte to declare a revolutionary government as the administration saw no impending threats that would prompt the President to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the calls of the President\u2019s supporters for a revolutionary government. But I think there\u2019s no factual or legal basis as of now because the President has said that he will consider a revolutionary government if destabilizers will persist in their plan to have him removed from office,\u201d Roque said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n

The Spokesperson said that Duterte still enjoys the support of a majority of Filipinos, according to recent surveys.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I stress, we don\u2019t see any threat, any such threat in the near future.<\/p>\n

The President enjoys 80 percent approval rating; he was duly elected; he had a margin of five million votes from the second highest candidate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is de jure. He is constitutional. He enjoys tremendous public support and the support of Congress. So we see no reason to declare a revolutionary government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A Catholic prelate, however, warned that discussions of a revolutionary government might be alarming for the public since it would be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revolutionary government is disturbing. The government officials have been elected to promote the Constitution, to protect the Constitution. A revolutionary government is outside the Constitution\u2026 So if they opt for a revolutionary government, it is unconstitutional,\u201d Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo of the CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Laity (ECL) pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is against the law, therefore, they go beyond their mandate. Therefore it is immoral, we have no obligation to follow them,\u201d Pabillo said. \u201cEverybody including the military should not follow them because we have to protect the Constitution. This is extra-constitutional, therefore, it is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bishop stressed that having an opposition \u201cis part of the check and balance of a democracy\u201d that a leader should welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be an opposition. If he can\u2019t live with that, he is not fit to rule,\u201d Pabillo said.<\/p>\n

Duterte earlier threatened to declare a revolutionary government if his opponents would try to topple him from power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf things go out of control and [the] government is weakened\u2014that is my predicate,\u201d Duterte reiterated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf my country is weakened and I see revolutionaries bringing firearms on the streets, well, maybe you shouldn\u2019t have second thoughts, I will declare a revolutionary government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
