In the grand tradition of online sensationalism, the recent kerfuffle involving former press secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles serves as a timeless lesson: think before you click.

Mere moments after ex-Duterte spokesperson Harry Roque took center stage at the Senate hearing on POGOs, Trixie stirred the digital hive with a somber post about “Harry” heading to Heaven. The internet, ever the bastion of knee-jerk reactions, erupted in mourning. Shocked netizens lamented the untimely passing of Roque, only to discover the post referred to a dog.

Yes, Harry the dog, not the attorney. Cue the collective forehead slap. Trixie hastily edited her post, but the damage was done. Perhaps she should take a cue from beauty queens and practice poise under pressure. After all, as Pia Wurtzbach might remind us, thinking before you speak—or click—can save a lot of heartache and hashtags.
