A win against state terror | Charges vs. teacher who joked about Duterte dropped for 3rd time

MANILA – A progressive teachers’ group hailed the decision of an Olongapo City prosecutor denying the motion for reconsideration filed by the National Bureau of Investigation against a teacher who was charged with inciting to sedition over an alleged tweet offering a reward for anyone who would kill President Rodrigo Duterte.
Teacher Ronnel Mas was arrested last year following a post on Twitter offering P50 million reward to kill President Rodrigo Duterte. The tweet was posted amid criticisms of the government’s response to the pandemic.

The second inciting to sedition case filed against teacher Ronnel Mas, who reportedly offered P50 million on Twitter to kill President Duterte, has been ordered dismissed by the Zambales provincial prosecutors’ office for lack of probable cause.
Mas’ first inciting to sedition charge was dismissed last year by the Olongapo City regional trial court (RTC) with a ruling that his alleged confession to a journalist did not cure the illegality of his arrest.
Thereafter, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) – through agent Rizaldy F. Jaymalin – refiled the charges before the prosecutors’ office in Zambales on May 11, 2020. The case was later re-assigned to the Olongapo City prosecutors office after the provincial prosecutors office inhibited from the resolving the complaint.
