ICYMI: Unfortunately, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque has a history of disrespecting reporters, in particular women, according to FOCAP.
Roque’s exact words were: “Virma, tumawag ka nang matanong mo naman si Mayor, iyong mga may-ari ng lantsa at saka ang PCG kasi tinawag iyong report ninyo ng isang may-ari ng lantsa na tsismis ‘no. In fairness to you, tumawag ka ngayon, I will link you up with them para naman malinawan kung ano iyang report mo.”
“The tone of Sec. Roque dismissing the BBC report as deception and rumor was disparaging and condescending, as he sought to assign ill motive to the network’s report and singled out Ms Rivera for it,” said FOCAP in a statement on Twitter. “FOCAP members Ms Rivera, Mr Johnson, and the rest of the BBC were merely doing their jobs. They reported what they saw, and presented the story they were told,” it added.
