“As a former lawmaker myself, I would like to remind Congressman Alvarez to act in accordance to the highest standards of ethics, morality and nationalism, and avoid remarks unbecoming of a member of the House of Representatives,” the justice secretary added. “Our Constitution says the AFP shall protect the people and the state, not the president! If we allow the war to explode in the West Philippine Sea, there will be countless dead bodies and unimaginable destruction. Before that happens…I call on the Armed Forces of the Philippines to please withdraw your support to the chief executive…As the sitting president, Marcos is the armed forces’ commander-in-chief.Romeo Brawner Jr.
Surprisingly, some of Alvarez’s colleagues from the lower chamber had negative reactions toward the former house speaker’s remarks. Camiguin Representative Jurdin Jesus Romualdo said the immediate response to Alvarez’s call should be the filing of a criminal complaint. Meanwhile, Lanao del Norte Representative Khalid Dimaporo said the House committee on ethics could launch a probe into Alvarez.
