Atty. Rivera slams Drilon over RevGov remarks: "We did expect something from you before and you just became fat and narcoleptic."

Lawyer, and social media personality Bruce Villafuerte Rivera slams Senator Franklin Drilon for criticizing and calling out the recent protest movements and rallies that support the controversial ‘revolutionary government’ of President Rodrigo Duterte.

"Alam nila na ito'y bawal sa ating Saligang-Batas ngunit hinayaan lang nila dahil pawang mga kaalyado nila ang nasa likod," Drilon said.

Rivera responded to Sen. Drilon’s words with a post in his Facebook account where he carefully pointed out the supporters of the Duterte’s proposed ‘revolutionary government’ are not criminals nor traitors; he also called out Drilon’s credibility and hypocrisy for criticizing the revolutionary but at the same time being allegedly complicit with the blunders of the former administration.

Sen. Drilon recently called out the supporters of Duterte’s revolutionary government as individuals who have committed a criminal by arguing that through the declaration of a revolutionary government, they have betrayed the country because their actions are allegedly equivalent to that of a rebellion and sedition.

In the said Facebook post, Rivera defended their actions by arguing that their actions were not illegal and were tantamount to rebellion. Rivera then reminded readers about the controversial dengue vaccine and the infamous PDAF scam, calling those actions as an illegal move done by Sen. Drilon.

"Senator Drilon,

If you want to us to be punished just because we are calling for the President to declare a revolutionary government or call for a referendum on that matter, then imprison the millions all over the Philippines who called for it outside the streets, inside their homes and in social media. Tingnan lang natin kung makakahanap ka ng kulungan na kasya kami.

Just because the organizers called it RevGov means it is a rebellion and thus, illegal. You called the fund scam “Pork Barrel” and we did not see you in barrel. The people never took a territory, occupied a government building and took up arms against the government. We also did not commit coup d’etat because there was no swift attack with violence and intimidation directed against the government. In fact, we are asking our President to exercise a constitutional power. Inciting to sedition and sedition as a crime requires a public and tumultuous uprising which was not the case yesterday. It was simple call to action and a show of support.

What is criminal is being complicit in allowing a potentially harmful dengue vaccine to be given to our children without requiring further testing on the medicine. The past administration who made it happen has blood in their hands and yours as well.

Sir, we are trying to build a better nation for our children and putting our hope on our last chance. People like you are a dime a dozen. We produce uninspiring Senators like you every election, those who look good in paper and are as useless as toilet paper. And you breed like rabbits. Duterte comes once in a lifetime so allow us the malady of great expectations. We did expect something from you before and you just became fat and narcoleptic. So we just let you dose off.

Focus your time trying to craft a good defense for the million counts of attempted murder or criminal negligence cases Filipino children will file on all of you when they will have develop dengue for life."
