I've said bad words against the president before and most specially about his minions on FB, not arrested yet though.
I think it's fair given the very public position that they are in and of course some of these utterances are usually brought about by emotions. Understandable imho the same way that pro-Duterte uses foul language againts the critics.
Can they file a case against you? Obviously yes, but it's more of harrasment imho. I am no lawyer or judge but those kind of utterances in my belief is not in the same league as giving bounty for someones head.
Again, hassle na makasuhan ka pa, the gov't can do that, pero I don't think you'll be criminally liable. The explanation below I believe is what will exculpate the salesman in the end. Just my 2 cents.
The Constitution sets a high bar for libel cases by a “public official” or “public figure.” The latter “enjoys great fame or notoriety,” “has thrust himself into public view,” or has become involved “in an issue of public interest.” Philippine public figure doctrine became even more liberal than American doctrine after it adopted two supposedly mutually exclusive American doctrines.
Under the classic reasoning from the golden age of newspapers, public officials and public figures have less need of the protection of libel laws because they have greater access to the media. Our President can instantly appear on national television to refute anything from criticisms of his policies to rumors of who he is currently dating. The constitutional preference is for speech to be met with more speech, not arrest warrants. Further classic reasoning holds that free speech needs “breathing space” as “erroneous statement is inevitable in free debate.”

Kumbaga, if you run for public office you're expected to have a thick skin. hehe
If not, like in basketball parlance, if you don't want to get physical, play chess.

Then if they overreacted, I hope the salesman has a good lawyer that could ask for civil indemnity for malicious filing of a case hehe.
I don't buy the hacked account theory, he could have readily retracted it and issued an apology ASAP.

That's what he actually did. He also retrofitted an eps to his 1970s era beetle. Btw, now...
