Huli ka Balbon!!!
A public school
teacher made himself famous by posting online a reward of P50 million to
anybody that can kill the President of the republic.
And now he is
doubly famous because of the threat he made on social media he was arrested by
the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Ronnel Mas, 25
years of age, resident of Barangay North Poblacion, Sta. Cruz, Zambales was placed under the custody
of the NBI after posting in his Twitter account message saying that “I will
give ₱50 Million reward kung sino makakapatay kay Duterte
(to anyone who can kill Duterte)."

NBI Officer-In-Charge Eric Distor said
he immediately ordered its Dagupan District Office to track down and arrest
Mas, a social sciences teacher at Taltal National High School (TNHS).
"Operatives of DADO then began to
track subject MAS' whereabouts by tracing the links of the comments on his
post. After determining his possible location, operatives of DADO lost no time
and rushed to Barangay Poblacion North in Sta. Cruz, Zambales and coordinated
with barangay officials resulting in the arrest of [the] subject," the NBI
said in a statement.
Mas will be facing
inquest proceedings in Manila for inciting to sedition in relation to the
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, and for violating the Code of Conduct and
Ethical Standards for Public Officials.
Apology would not
extinguish criminal liablity
Mas has since
already apologized for his tweet against President Duterte, but the Department
of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Menardo Guevarra said such apology would not mean he
can get away with his criminal responsibility.
"Apology is
not one of the grounds for extinguishing criminal liability. I cannot
feloniously injure another and get away with it by merely saying 'sorry',"
Guevarra said in a statement.
