TV Host-Actor Edu Manzano received negative reactions after tweeting “unconfirmed chismis” about President Noynoy Aquino and Grace Lee.
In
a tweet by Manzano, posted March 21, he said “”PNoy and Grace Lee
spotted at Promenade Greenhills today. In the middle of the day. To be
fair, it IS a nice day for a leisurely stroll.” He, however, did not
indicate whether he saw them personally or only heard about it from someone.
Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda immediately belied the
tweet, still through Twitter. “@RealEduManzano Ur tweet is tsismis. The President is presiding over a NEDA Board meeting. It started at 10, the meeting is still ongoing”, Lacierda tweeted.
Manzano, after a while, retracted his tweet and apologized about
it. ”Pnoy was NOT in Promenade with Grace Lee today. It was unconfirmed
gossip, and I was overeager. I deserve all the backlash. Lesson learned”, was his post after Lacierda’s.
“Sorry for the confusion, everyone. In local parlance, ‘nakuryente’ ako, and I was foolish to tweet unconfirmed chismis”, he added.
Meanwhile, PNoy made a side comment in an interview
which was obviously pertaining to Manzano. He said, “Meron talagang
walang magawa. Yun ‘yung kailangan natin ihanap ng trabaho. Dahil
nag-iimbento ng kwento”.
