Kilala si Atty. Jose Christopher "Kit" Belmonte bilang active supporter ni dating Bise Presidente Leni Robredo at isa rin siya sa mga board member ng Angat Buhay foundation. Kaya naman dismayado ang mga netizen nang malaman na isa ito sa mga abogado ni Juanito Remulla III, anak ni DOJ Secretary Boying Remulla.
Nitong Biyernes, nakaligtas ang batang Remulla sa kasong pag-iingat ng mahigit ₱1.3 milyong halaga ng kush o high grade marijuana noong 2022.
Ito ay nang mapatunayan ni Las Piñas City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 197 Judge Ricardo Moldez II, na not guilty si Remulla sa kasong paglabag sa Section 11 ng Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002).
Nakatanggap lamang umano ng isang package na naglalaman ng 900 gramo ng high-grade marijuana na nagkakahalagang ₱1.3M. Alinsunod sa korte, wala umanong sapat na ebidensyang nagpapatunay na aware si Remulla hinggil sa nilalaman ng naturang package.
Nagpahayag naman ng kasiyahan si DOJ Secretary Remulla nang maabsuwelto ang kaniyang anak.
“He had the right to be presumed innocent in the first place, I am just glad justice is served,” pahayag ni Remulla sa panayam ng reporters.

"Kit Belmonte being lawyer to DOJ Sec son in a drug case and at same time Angat Board member is not contradictory. It only tells us that Angat Buhay is not about justice but simply about charity. We can't force Belmonte to quit but we can change our expectation of Angat Buhay."
"Bakit nasa Angat Buhay yang Kit Belmonte? Malinaw na malinaw kakampi yan ng mga magnanakaw at tiwali sa Gobyerno. Anu spy ng kalaban? Mag isip Angat Buhay Foundation. May anay sa dyan. Ok na sana eh. May anay lang sumisira."

"Kit Belmonte with the pink twitter banner that says, "Tuloy lang"... Tuloy lang ang ano? Pagtanggol ng mga kriminal na mayayaman at makapangyarihan? It's ironic how you added the word "advocate" in your bio. Advocate of what? Of injustice?"
