Caught by the troll network

(Memory Served: 07 August 2016, Pasay City)

When the Official Gazette came out with this social media card to express sympathies to loved ones, family, friends and associates of Senator Jovito Salonga, it felt right for me to share the material publicly and tell other people - close friends and some family members knew of this already - that I will always feel that Salonga was the President we never had. He was my choice in the 1992 presidential election.

Then it got pulled out by Facebook for allegedly violating Community Guidelines, sharing a material that comes from a reputable source. The work of trolls, like-minded friends on Facebook told me. I was seething... for like, five or six minutes.

Now? With how everything is unraveling, this troll slam feels like a badge of honor.
