No, Senator Grace Poe Did Not Call Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio ‘Pangit’

95146A29-B43F-4241-986D-5F26564830D7MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If there is one thing that Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio hates the most is being called ‘pangit’ (ugly).  She is ready to take anyone who calls her that to court.

So, when the blogosphere erupted with the rumor that during today’s Senate hearing on fake news, Senator Grace Poe called Laurio, ‘pangit,’ both Poe and Laurio called it fake news.

What Poe actually told Laurio was”: ‘May pangil ka rin’ (you also have fangs).

(Poe was chiding Laurio for saying that many pro-Duterte bloggers have hit her with below-the-belt comments and criticism.)

We guess fangs are less offensive than ugliness.

But he did not stop there.

He also recommended that all pseudo journalists —specifically naming the likes of Maria Ressa, Pia Ranada and Raissa Robles — be asked to do the same.

”We need those who spread fake and yellow-colored news to be held accountable,” Pacquiao said, “and not hide behind the mantra of press freedom.

Ressa, who was present at the hearing, simply rolled her eyes, while Secretary Martin Andanar of PCOO winked at the Senator.

Meanwhile, in her testimony, Ressa spread yet another fake news: that her investment company Rappler helped Rodrigo Duterte get elected president.
