Tito Sotto believed that there’s an attack against him and his fellow Senators
Senate President Tito Sotto slammed the black propaganda and fake news against him and his fellow Senators Ping Lacson and Migz Zubiri.
Sotto once became the new Senate President following the leadership of Senator Chiz Escudero. A motion was filed to declare the positon of Senate President vacant and this was approved.
Sotto was teh sole nominee for the Senate Presidency, and she was elected with fifteen Senators voting in his favor. Lacson became the Senate President Pro Tempore replacing Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, while Zubiri is now the Majority Leader replacing Sen. Joel Villanueva.
In a recent statement, based on the report in Abante News, Sen. Tito Sotto said that black propaganda and fake news aiming to destroy him, Sen. Ping Lacson, and Sen. Migz Zubiri have been circulating.
This came after the write-ups that surfaced online alleging that he is pushing to add one more year in the K to 12 program, change the senior citizen eligibility to 35 years old, and to put 50 percent tax to content creators.
“Grabe [ang fake news]. Talagang parang mayroong, ano tawag dun, may directed, mayroong propaganda talaga against the Senate, against myself,” the Senate President said.
Sotto also said that they noticed that since September 8, fake news have been circulating about him, Lacson, and Zubiri. Allegations of a coup also surfaced, and this would happen every weekend.
“That is the best word. I think there is a concerted effort by some quarters. I don’t know who. We’ll try to find out,” the veteran politician said.
Sen. Tito Sotto also believed that their detractors had nothing to throw at them, and the only thing they can do is to create fake news about them.
