Barzaga posted on social media on Wednesday a copy of the subpoena along with the caption: “Bongbong Marcos, how many people have your father killed or imprisoned before he was removed from power? This will not stop us, this will only make the revolution stronger!”

In a subsequent post that evening, the lawmaker said he was willing to “die for a noble cause” and expressed hope of contributing to what he described as the President's “downfall.”

The social media post comes amid a string of controversies involving Barzaga, who recently broke away from the majority in the House of Representatives.
