Piqued Pacquiao throws in the towel on Twitter
Sarangani representative and boxing giant Manny Pacquiao seems to have thrown in the towel on Twitter, deleting his account in the wake of criticism of his online behavior and absence from Congress.
On the evening of March 21, Pacquiao was in Baguio training for his May bout against Shane Moseley. Despite his absence from Congressional proceedings, he managed to air his opposition to the impeachment of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez via his Twitter account. (Cached)
“I vote NO! and I can give my explanation thanks,” he said emphatically just a few minutes before midnight.
Tweets, Taunts, Tirades
Earlier, Pacquiao tweeted that he was following the impeachment proceedings on television. “I’m watching impeachment trial very interesting topic good night everyone thanks,” the absentee solon said in his unpunctuated statement.
“Why are you not at the plenary?” asked blogger Noemi Dado via Twitter, under the username @momblogger.
Pacquiao shot back: “@momblogger e di mag reklamo ka doon sa lolo mo hahahaha thanks” (Go tell it to your grandpa!)
But not all Twitter users were as composed.
“to h*ll with @congmp. Why the f**k did you run for congress when you know you’d barely be present?” said @RAndRat.
To which a piqued Pacquiao responded by reiterating his earlier comment: “e di mag reklamo ka sa lolo mong panot hahahaha” (Go tell it to your balding grandpa!)
