In the October 3 post, video blogger Michael “Mike” Romero shared a picture of President Ferdinand Marcos standing with other officials outside the earthquake-ravaged city hall in Bogo in the central Philippines.
“To shooters and law enforcement agencies, when you say ‘headshot’ it means you would be shot in the head,“ bureau director Jaime Santiago told reporters at a press conference, during which the suspect was made to stand behind him in handcuffs.
The bureau will file a criminal complaint accusing Romero of inciting sedition and making a grave threat, offences punishable by at least six years in prison.
“When it comes to threats or any attempt on the president or vice president... we enter into the picture.”
His original “headshot” post has since been taken down, replaced by another with the same picture and arrow but a new caption: “City Hall is really accurate.”
Freedom of expression has been declining globally, as restrictions around speech mount, according to monitoring group Article 19.
On this year’s Global Freedom of Expression Report, the Philippines ranked 95th out of 161 countries. – AFP
