On his Twitter page, Tecson described himself as a lawyer, civil engineer and the so-called prime minister of the socialist republic of the Philippines.

Paredes, meanwhile, said he will not be cowed by this incident and will continue to air his political commentary online.

He said he received information that Tecson works for the city of Makati.
