Duterte threatens revolutionary gov’t if ‘Destab’ Continues
President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to declare a revolutionary government in case destabilization moves by his critics, particularly the Left, continue and start slipping into chaos.
"'Pag ang destablization ninyo patagilid na at medyo magulo na, I will not hesitate to declare a revolutionary government until the end of my term," he said in a report on state-run PTV News on Friday.
"I will arrest all of you and we can go to a full-scale war against the Reds," Duterte added.
He said he will declare the revolutionary government if he thinks his critics are "about to take over the nation" and install a new government.
Duterte said he would not declare martial law because he would need to report to Congress for it.
Duterte's statement was part of a taped interview with broadcaster Erwin Tulfo that will air on Friday night.
