Teddy Casi\u00f1o for agitating many young people, especially students, to rebel against the government.<\/p>\n<p>In an open letter posted on her Facebook page on Friday, Krizette Laureta Chu described Casi\u00f1o as an &#8220;incendiary figure who has caused many mothers grief by inflaming their children with wrong ideologies&#8221; amid reports of recruitment of minors into the Communist Party of the Philippines &#8211; New People&#8217;s Army (CPP-NPA).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Huwag ako<\/em>\u00a0(Not me).\u00a0<em>Huwag ako ang takutin mo\u00a0<\/em>(Don&#8217;t threaten me) because I will move heaven and earth to expose you. Maybe by filing a case against me, your hypocrisies will be revealed. I\u2019m willing to be sacrificed at the altar of your fake agendas so that no more mothers will lose children to hypocrites like you. Open the Pandora\u2019s box, I dare you,&#8221; she added, challenging the former legislator to file a case against her.<\/p>\n<p>Chu also lashed back at Casi\u00f1o for being indignant without any basis and validation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Ikaw pwede mag\u00a0criticize\u00a0ng iba at pwedeng mandamay ng pamilya, Pero kaming\u00a0regular na mamamayan, hindi?
