He also advised the public to report these pages to Facebook.
“Malinaw na ito’y pinatatakbo ng mga online trolls dahil iisang network silang nagshe-share ng mga posts nito,” the labor leader said in a statement.
“Ngayon naman ay wine-weaponize ako para siraan ang iba pang kandidato. Liban pa sa paninira ay rine-redtag ko rin daw ang ibang kandidato,” De Guzman further added.
“Totoo naman na may malalim ngunit prinsipyadong kritisismo ako sa aking mga karibal pero sa antas lamang ito ng kanilang plataporma.” Ronald Espartinez
