Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque was at best ambivalent when he said that “as of now” there is neither factual nor legal basis for the declaration of a revolutionary government.

Roque claimed that there is absence of a factual basis since any destabilization has not escalated and there is yet no serious threat to oust the President even as the President enjoys majority support.

Roque’s “debunking” of a revolutionary government was conditional and contingent on future events, and was far from categorical that at no instance will a “RevGov” have legal or constitutional anchorage.

No amount of destabilization or attempt to unseat the President can validate the establishment of a revolutionary government, now or later, because it is a mongrel which has no constitutional pedigree.
