DOJ clears bishops from sedition raps (CBCP News)

The Department of justice has cleared four Catholic bishops from a sedition case that accused them of plotting to overthrow the Duterte administration. The DOJ ruled that Archbishop Socrates Villegas, Bishops Pablo Virgilio David, Honesto Ongtioco and Teodoro Bacani, Fr. Robert Reyes and La Salle Bro. Armin Luistro, showed no intention of committing sedition and that the complaints filed by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group lack evidence.

The sedition case and other charges stemmed from a viral video accusing President Duterte and his family of the illegal drug trade. (CBCPNews)
