‘Bully Atenista’ apologizes: I made my mistake but it was a one sided video.

After his video got shared on Facebook and became viral in no time, Joaquin Montes, a junior high school student from Ateneo High School and a martial arts athlete of the school has issued an apology that is quite not being accepted by the people.

Apology? Or Victim Playing?

About 2 hours ago, around 7:30 pm, Joaquin Montes broke his silence, amidst the plea of his school to stop the sharing of the video, people still keep sharing it. But who can blame them, right? Montes has stirred the anger of the people with what he had done.

In an attempt to stop the sharing and probably the cyber bullying, Montes released his statement. According to him, he made a Facebook page so that he can post his apology and the people can read it. However, the apology was not greatly accepted by the people. It was because instead of giving a sincere one, he seemed to want to make the people believe that he is the being bullied and he is just protecting himself. Can you believe that?

Dear Social Media

I made this page to apologize for all my mistake, i want to blog here all my public apologies. Please forgive me. i made my mistake, but it was a one sided video. It was a domino effect at that point, i was just protecting my self, it was not showed in the video but i was the victim that got bullied at the first place. Please undrestand my situation. Thank you.

His older brother was kicked out of San Beda for bullying. There is a rumor also, that their family is greatly connected to Peping Cojuangco.

However, as of this writing, we will maintain that these are all rumors as of now, and we are not confirming any of these rumors.

READ: Malacañang’s statement on UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard’s PH visit

From Presidential Spokesperson Ernest Abella: “We are aware that Dr. Callamard is currently in the Philippines and we are disappointed that, in not contacting our government in advance of this visit, she has sent a clear signal that she is not interested in getting an objective perspective on the issues that are the focus of her responsibility. On September 26, 2016 we sent a letter to Dr. Callamard congratulating her on her appointment as UN Special Rapporteur and in that letter we issued an invitation for her to visit the Philippines to meet with members of our government and others to get our perspective on the drug menace confronting our country and the efforts of law enforcement and others to address that challenge within the means allowed by Philippine law. Our hope at that time was that Dr. Callamard would accept this invitation as part of a commitment to carry out her new responsibilities in a manner that was objective and fair to all perspectives on th...

Duterte: Church is its own problem

President Duterte claimed that the he was not the problem of the Catholic Church as their greatest adversary was itself. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (RICHARD MADELO / PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) In his speech during the proclamation rally of PDP-Laban in Negros Occidental, Duterte reiterated his tirades against the Catholic Church. The President noted that he was only defending himself from the criticisms against him by members of the clergy while behind the pulpit. “I have a very serious problem with the church. Hindi ako ang problema ng church, sila. Eh ganun talaga (I am not the problem of the Church. Their problem is themselves. That’s how it is),” he said. “Edukado naman tayong lahat (We are all educated here). If you want to criticize me and you are a priest or a preacher, itong pulpito na ito (this pulpit), do not use this. You have to go out because there is a separation of church and state and nobody but nobody can stop a citizen from criti...

Grace Poe gets burned by DOTr for grandstanding on MRT

Photo from Mindanation Senator Grace Poe has made a career out of sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong and leveraging issues completely unrelated to her in order to forward her agenda. Her most recent ’cause’ is the MRT-3, which she described to media as in a state of “lumalalang kondisyon”. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) however, was not in the mood to becoming the latest toy of Poe’s political career. In a statement posted to their official Facebook page, the transportation agency politely and effectively rebutted Poe’s claims and educated Poe on why her assumptions were absolutely baseless. The DOTr makes an important point – since 2016, services and operations have been improving. The statistics for unloading incidents and services interruptions were on an increasing trend until 2016, when they finally started going down. The new administration has been doing all it can to mitigate the negative consequences of the system they inherited – tra...
