MANILA, Philippines — Just form a cheering squad and clap outside Malacañang instead of calling for a revolutionary government. This was the suggestion of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. to a group pushing for the establishment of a revolutionary government under the Duterte administration. Why don’t you just form a cheering squad, stand outside the Palace and clap?” Locsin said in an interview over ABS-CBN News Channel. “Why would you form a movement that says ‘We like the government, we like the government to stay,’” he added. “I think that was really a lunatic statement, there’s no such thing as a right to revolt,” Locsin said.
