Question

Macario, a student activist known for his antigovernment views, decided to take measures into his own hands and carried out the following activities: 1) he mobilized his barangay and instructed its members on the finer points of mass uprising; 2) he organized the People's Liberation Organization against Poverty (PLOP) and led a march to Malacañang to air their grievances, chanting subversive words denouncing the lack of action by the government to alleviate their plight; 3) he divided PLOP into groups of four members and ordered them to commit theft, raising over a million pesos to finance their activities; and 4) he posted a threat on his highly popular social media account that he will bomb several malls in Metro Manila, if the government will not give in to his demands of providing temporary cash handouts to the unemployed by the end of the month. The police then arrested Macario and charged him with violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act. Will the charge prosper? Discuss. (2023 BAR)
