Bam Aquino Insists Dissent Is Not Destabilization: Ayaw Namin Magkagulo Ang Pilipinas

Saying that political uncertainty will not benefit the country, Senator Bam Aquino has called on fellow government to “work together” for political stability and progress.

He also urged President Rodrigo Duterte not to equate dissent to destabilization.

“Speaking from the heart about political issues and even expressing outrage does not signify an intent to destabilize,” Senator Aquino said.

“While we disagree with some policies of the administration, ayaw naming magkagulo ang Pilipinas. Destabilization and political uncertainty are not good for anyone,” he added.

The opposition senator also called upon the government to respect the various voices and opinions on contentious policies like the war on drugs.

“Hayaan nating maglabas ng saloobin ang taumbayan sa mga nakikita nilang tama o mali sa pamahalaan,” Senator Aquino said.

“Ito’y bahagi ng demokrasya na ating tinatamasa ngayon at hindi dapat ituring ng pamahalaan bilang destabilisasyon,” he added.
