Former Cagayan de Oro mayor and congressman Atty. Constantino Tinnex Jaraula stressed that progressive protests differ greatly from the threats made by Vice President Sara Duterte.
He explained that while democracy allows the expression of sentiments, threatening someone’s life or planning to kill is not freedom of speech.
He added that government officials are expected to respect the law, making it inappropriate to equate mass protests with serious threats from a high-ranking official.
