A certain Reynaldo Orcullo, salesman from Agusan has been arrested due to his Facebook post showing disrespect against President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Bong Go.
On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, Orcullo was arrested by the police of the Regional Police Office in the town of Nasipit following after his libelous post and disrespect.
The suspect wrote words of disrespectful against the President Duterte and senator Bong Go saying, “ALAM NA PATTERN, MOSALIDA SI GO KONUHAY SIYA MOHANGYO SA BUANG NGA PANGULO, DIGONG GAGO. BUANG SI DIGONG” (We know the pattern. Go will try to make a scripted request to crazy Digong. Digong is stupid. Digong is crazy), the salesman said.
The police authorities had traced the location of the salesman and arrested the 41-year-old and brought the suspect to the police station and took some mugshots for police record. Caraga regional police chief Brig. Gen. Joselito Esquivel Jr. said, Orcullo was charged for violating Republic Act 10175 or Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
“I remind our social media users to think thrice before posting on any social media platform. Be responsible netizens. We do enjoy the blessings of democracy but never go beyond from what you think is right without minding you violate the provisions of the law,” Esquivel said.
Orcullo is one among the other netizens arrested for violating Republic Act 10175 or Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 after the incident took place in social media involving Teacher Ronnel A. Mas and a Construction Worker in Boracay for disrespecting President Duterte.
