Duterte supporter lawyer Bruce Rivera fell for the fake meme circulating online that claimed Senator Risa Hontiveros wanted to have the Filipino soldiers investigated over suspicions of overkill in the deaths of terrorist leaders Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute.
“Pwede ba, ipaimbestigahan din natin ang naglagay ng botox sa mukha mo at mukhang overkill din ang pagkalagay sa yo based sa photo na nakita ko sa Social Media,” Rivera wrote on Facebook on November 15.
“Kung binaril ng fifteen times, fifty times or five hundred times, kung namatay na..hindi na human yan. Joke. Isang beses lang talaga barilin kasi overkill kung twice ka magpaputok. Hindi po yan sex na isang putukan lang tapos pahinga. Kainis naman, Sen. Risa,” he added.
He also slammed Hontiveros’ “high-IQ quotes.”
“I try my best to be positive pero you bring the palengkera in me with your high-IQ quotes,” Rivera said.
Rivera’s slamming of Hontiveros over the fake statement was even covered by blog theinsights.net, which is now being shared online.
However, Memebuster already busted that meme with its fake statement from Hontiveros with our article, “Busted: Hontiveros wants soldiers investigated over allegations of overkill in Maute, Hapilon’s deaths? It’s a fake statement!”
Hontiveros also released her own clarification over the statement, tagging it as fake news.
“Friends, this is another piece of fake news about me. I did not ask for an investigation of our valiant Marawi soldiers over Maute, Hapilon deaths. This interview and quote did not happen,” she wrote.
