'We call on the current administration to end the filing of charges against its perceived critics and instead perform its duty to protect the democratic space for dissent.' La Salle presidents to Duterte admin: Do your duty, drop sedition complaint
MANILA, Philippines – The presidents of 14 De La Salle schools and universities across the country, along with De La Salle Philippines' Chief Executive Officer Edgar Chua, urged the Duterte administration to drop the sedition charges against its"perceived critics" over the viral Bikoy videos.
"The government is for all and not just those who agree with the policies of the administration," they added.
Luistro serves as De La Salle Philippines president, while Diokno was dean of the De La Salle University College of Law. "We strongly denounce these charges against them and the leaders of the opposition especially as these are based solely on the affidavit of a convicted felon Joemel Advincula," the La Salle leaders said.
