Former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson broke his silence following reports that he could face sedition charges for allegedly inciting a revolution against corruption.
In an interview with the media on Sunday, October 5, Singson said he is ready to face imprisonment if the accusations against him prove to be true.
“Basta ang masasabi ko lang, lahat ng sinasabi nila puro kalokohan. Walang katotohanan. Magpapakulong ako kung may katotohanan ang mga sinasabi nila,” he stated.
He further remarked, “Lahat ng ‘yan, mga asong ulol. ‘Pag nakaamoy ng pera, kumakagat.”
However, the former governor did not specify who he was referring to with his “asong ulol” comment.
Earlier, Malacañang said that it expects the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Singson’s alleged call for the youth to rise up against corruption.
