JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Tuesday ordered a probe into Davao del Norte 1st District Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez's call for the military to withdraw its support for the President to determine if the congressman is liable for sedition, inciting to sedition or even rebellion.

Alvarez made the call during a political rally on Sunday in Tagum City, saying the way President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was handling the West Philippine Sea dispute with China could lead the country into war.
