House leaders have condemned the string of “prayer rallies for peace” headlined by former President Rodrigo Duterte and other critics of the Marcos administration, calling it a thinly-veiled smear campaign.
“It’s all about insults, destruction of our current administration… they’re not even offering any other solutions to what they’re saying or the problems,” he added.At a prayer rally in Manila, former congressman Glenn Chong threatened to slap First Lady Liza Marcos-Araneta.During another prayer rally in Tagum City, former Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez urged the Armed Forces of the Philippines to withdraw support from the President over his handling of the issue in the West Philippine Sea.
“If we listen to what is being said, the words being uttered on the stage are far from their desire to have peace,” Deputy Majority Leader and Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre said. In a press conference in January, former President Duterte said only “stupid people” will link him to destabilization efforts against the administration as he urged Filipinos to observe the rule of law.
