The Phantom Junta That Can Talk, Bribe, and Disappear All at Once
Jonvic Remulla Presents: The Coup That Both Exists and Doesn’t (Now in Quantum 4D!)

Schrödinger’s Coup: Deadly Serious Yet Totally “Baseless” – Choose One, Secretary Jonvic!

Last night, while Metro Manila was drowning in the usual cocktail of floodwater and pork-barrel excuses, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla staged a press-conference séance. He summoned the ghost of a “civilian-military junta,” confidently declared that intelligence units already know the recruiters, the bribes, the promised Cabinet portfolios… and then, with the straightest of faces, told the nation the entire rumor is “baseless.”

Congratulations, Secretary. You have invented the quantum coup d’état: simultaneously existent and non-existent, depending on which microphone is live.

Jonvic Remulla’s Magical Evidence: Visible to Intelligence Units, Invisible to Everyone Else

The Fatal Self-Contradiction That Should End Any Credible Investigation

Let us quote the man verbatim (because satire writes itself these days):

“We know who are asking, who are the ones recruiting. We know what they’re up to. We know what they are offering… [but] rumors about the formation of a junta are baseless.”

So which is it?
Do we have an active criminal conspiracy worthy of 24/7 monitoring, or do we have a fairy tale so harmless that the public should just shrug and move on?

You cannot brand “semi-active politicians” (apparently a newly discovered species that still tweets but no longer holds office) as coup recruiters on Monday and then dismiss the entire plot as make-believe on Tuesday. That is not intelligence briefing. That is political fanfiction.

Where’s the Beef? A Short, Brutal Tour of the Revised Penal Code

Let’s open the lawbooks the DILG apparently keeps for decoration.

Article 136, Revised Penal Code – Conspiracy or Proposal to Commit Coup d’État / Rebellion

To even dream of filing this charge, prosecutors need:

  1. Proof of agreement between two or more persons to overthrow the government by force or unlawful means.
  2. Overt acts in furtherance (recruitment only counts if the unlawful objective is crystal clear).

Translation: Show us the Signal chats, the bank transfers, the draft “Day One” decrees, the recorded phone calls where someone actually says “Once Marcos is gone, you’ll be the next DILG Secretary.” Anything less is hearsay dressed up in a barong.

Article 142, Revised Penal Code – Inciting to Sedition

You need public utterances that directly and proximately incite rebellion. Harsh tweets about the administration? Protected speech. A viral video screaming “The military must take over now!” while tagging active generals? Potentially prosecutable. Again: evidence, not vibes.

So, Secretary Remulla, with all due respect:
Where are the chat logs?
Where are the money trails?
Where is even one redacted affidavit that a judge could actually read without throwing it in the trash?

The Chilling Effect in Neon Lights

When the state waves the “national security” wand without producing a single warrant, a single financial record, or a single corroborated witness, it is not defending democracy.
It is teaching every retired general, every ex-congressman, every loudmouth columnist that the surveillance vans are rolling and the political obituaries are already being drafted.

We have watched this horror franchise before: vague allegation → red-tagging → frozen assets → midnight arrest. The Supreme Court spent years trimming the overbroad claws of Republic Act No. 11479 (Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020) precisely because it saw how easily “terrorism” can become a synonym for “opposition.”

The Barok Ultimatum: Put Up or Shut Up

If you have the evidence tomorrow morning, file the cases. Name the accused in a proper information, not in a soundbite. Let the courts laugh you out — or lock them up.
If you do not have the evidence, then kindly spare us the ghost stories. Stop turning the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the entire intelligence community into props for the 2028 campaign.

Because the real threat to this republic is not a secret club of “semi-active politicians” plotting in a cave.
It is the growing, poisonous conviction — fed by stunts exactly like this — that the people who cry “junta!” loudest are the ones who most resemble one.

Yours in perpetual vigilance,
–Barok
