MANILA, Philippines — A criminal case will be filed against the public school teacher who offered P50-million to anyone who can kill President Rodrigo Duterte, the head of the National Prosecution Service (NPS) said Thursday.

Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento said Ronnel Mas will be charged with inciting to sedition in relation to Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

“The actual filing [of the case] will be next week before a court in Zambales,” he said.
