Post threats on Facebook wall!Cyber-threats are common these days… Dona Victorina’s expose on Reyn@Rain@Reynaldo Barnido (who appeared in national television posing as P-Noys “supporter”) and his ilk, because of their seeming refusal to settle their “crimes” lawfully, is causing another guttural blather among some uncouth netizens.
Reyn@Rain@Reaynaldo Barnido and his ilk, has once again, succeeded in muddling the issue by dragging other people to the quandary.
Dona Victorina remains steadfast in her resolve; that the said posse settle their transgressions at the soonest possible time. The Manila Standard Today reports that Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago has a piece of advice to people who have use cyber-space to convey their threats:
“Post those threats on my Facebook wall.
Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago had this piece of advice for callers who left messages threatening her over her latest tirade against jueteng.
In a statement, the fiesty senator said the callers left messages asking her to “take it easy on the operators and the PNP,” or insisting that “she should present wirnesses or shut up.”
Her executive assistant, Sandy Schala, said the messages were relayed to the senator, who advised the callers to just “post all death threats on my Facebook wall.”
There are at least three Facebook accounts under Santiago’s name, with all of them bearing her profile pictures.
Santiago delivered a privilege speech last week calling for a probe of jueteng operators and local executives.
In a radio interview over Bombo Radyo on Monday, she called on Malacanang to study the proposal to legalize jueteng.
“There are occasions when government, seeking to prohibit absolutely, finds the law impossible to enforce. If we cannot prohibit, should we not regulate?,” Santiago said.
“Various Philippine presidents have come and gone, but illegal jueteng remains. No administration has yet succeeded in sending a gambling lord to jail. If so, should we not settle for regulating jueteng, instead of abolishing it on paper, without any realistic hope of success on the ground?,” she added.
Santiago said Congress should consider legalization because the prohibition of jueteng has merely increased its reach and volume.
She also said it led to the perennial criminal conspiracy between the Interior and Local Government secretary and the PNP chief, and has enabled jueteng operators, through their untaxed wealth and major campaign contributions, to control the winners in local and national elections.”
