In a series of tweets on her Twitter account @kakiewrites, Frankie—who has been a visible figure online because of her fierce stance on national and social issues—appealed to her followers for help to "spread the word" that certain groups want to remove her father from the panel to “make constitutional changes, allegedly in order to address the COVID crisis."

“This admin can’t touch our Constitution as long as my dad’s guarding it. They cannot remove term limits (extend terms), without removing him,” she added.

“I’d put this up on the main account but I don’t want to draw any admin attention onto it when I know I’m being watched. Please please watch out for the OustKiko posts and know that my dad, who is one of the senators who voted against the anti-terror bill, is protecting our rights,” she went on.

The anti-terror bill, which was met with heavy opposition over fears that it could be used to silence critics, was enacted into law after President Rodrigo Duterte signed the measure last July 3.
