The case was not filed by National Official but by the mayor.   It is up to the  court/fiscals to decide.   As to whether the arrest is unconstitutional (the  entire law must be declared unconstitutional  - But section 7 says that this law must prevail.)

The more important fear being sowed is among those who bash, curse, or include political issues in their post with regards to the coVid19 post which includes and not limited to posts on SAP, handling of the crisis and morel

Its time to delete or modify post or apologize publicly. There are 3 laws that can be thrown towards the basher:    the cybercrime law, the Revised Penal Code on libel and defamation and Section 6f of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Law.
