Kiko Pangilinan Urges Pinoys To Use Social Media Responsibly

KIKO PANGILINAN – Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan urged Pinoys to use social media for good cause.

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and Sharon Cuneta’s daughter Frankie Pangilinan recently decided to step away from social media. She made headlines last month after she made a firm stand against victim shaming and “rape” culture in the country.

Journalist Ben Tulfo criticized her views against the issue and a netizen named Sonny Alcos made a rape threat against the young singer. Her mom immediately searched for the basher and said she will sue him for disrespecting her daughter.

As the Philippines celebrates World Social Media Day today, Liberal Party president Francis Pangilinan called on the Pinoys to use their social media power for good. Based on a report from Manila Bulletin, the politician said social media is now used as a weapon to people who expressed their views on various issues like his daughter Frankie Pangilinan.

“Ngayon, nagiging commercialized at weaponized na ang social media, tulad na lang ng pananakot sa mga pumupuna, o kahit na yung meron lang ibang paningin sa mga bagay-bagay tulad ni Frankie,” he said.
