RODRIGUEZ, Rizal: Acting Mayor Jonas Cruz filed
sedition charges against suspended Mayor Pedro Cuerpo and several
members of the municipal council before the Rizal Provincial
Prosecutors Office, saying that the embattled official “planned
and effectively carried out” a public and tumultuous uprising.
In his complaint, Cruz said the action by Cuerpo
and his supporters was “more than being an obvious breach of
peace,” adding that the move was calculated to prevent the
municipal government of Rodriguez from carrying out its official
functions and day-to-day operations.
