uttering seditios words, tend to disturb or obstruct any lawfl officer in executing his functions, instigate others to cabal and meet together for unlawful purposes, suggest rebellious conspiracies or riots, stir up people against lawful authorites. . .etc

Did Gen. Abat's action of proclaiming himself President included in the definition of the crime? Did he incite people? Did it obstruct the execution of governmental functions? I think not.The sitation was normal. People go on with their lives as usual.

Did he distrurb the people or safety or the order of the government? I think not, the vicinity of Clb Filipino was peaceful. No one was inconvenienced.

Did he instigated unlawful acts to stir up people? I think not. Proclaiming himself as President is in no way an illegal act.

The inciting to sedition will fall like a deck of cards at the Prosectors Office. Ask any lawyer.
