Sotto: I'm a victim of cyberbullying

Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III on Wednesday fired back at his "faceless" online critics, saying that he has become a victim of cyberbullying because of his refusal to support the Reproductive Health Bill.

  1. Here's what netizens had to say regarding his claim, as well as his denial that he plagiarized the work of an American blogger:
  2. In an alternate world where Sotto isn't loaded with machismo, he would have admitted to the plagiarism and apologized and we'd move on.
  3. Sen. Sotto, please select your staff and consultants properly... more power. #plagiarism #cyberbullying #thelyingthief
  4. Does Tito Sotto know what 'cyber-bullying' means? Was he held back a grade or two? #RHBill
  5. Sinabi pa niya na wala raw krimen na plagiarism dito sa Pilipinas. Ah ah! Tito Sotto naman, hindi ka ba nagthesis? Nakakahiya ka.
  6. Tito Sotto's claiming he's cyber-bullied. Don't they bully people in Eat Bulaga everyday, poking fun at them and their situations?
  7. did sotto just say plagiarism isn't illegal in the country?? (enrolling in theoryc will help you!)
  8. @ronlivilla si Senator Sotto. He's a joke! A lawmaker who doesn't know the law. tapos galit pa siya ngayon?
  9. Sotto claims he is being bullied in the cyberspace. Jeez! You better learn how to apologize, ain't too hard to do that you know. (•͡˘˛˘ •͡)
  10. HAH. Narinig ko by accident yung mga pinagsasasabi ni Sotto. "Kill the messenger" Wait, what? Pahamak na tv yan. :(
  11. Sotto, really, "cyber bullying" victim?! Come on!
  12. Tito Sotto is a pitiful man, I hope you learn your lessons from this debacle.
  13. Etong si Sen.Sotto ayaw pang umamin eh. Please lang wag nang magtanga-tangahan. Ikaw pa ngaun ung biktima ng cyberbullying? Lol wth!
  14. "Sotto said the issue of plagiarism is being used as part of a hatchet or demolition job against him." *ULTIMATE FACEPALM*
  15. dear sen sotto. yes, plagiarism is not a crime, but that doesnt mean it's not wrong. ergo, it will never justify your act. man up, apologize
  16. Lol stop talking Sen. Sotto. ... you might just embarass yourself again. #fail
  17. Before you call Sen. Tito Sotto "stupid"-- remember that it was our own "stupidity" that made him Senator in the first place. #plagiarism
  18. Tito Sotto invoked a flurry of reactions from me~ I'm amused, aggravated, vexed, anguished, and in disbelief that he's in the senate.
  19. If we get 80% of the population to value rational thought and critical thinking, clowns like Sotto would never get elected in the 1st place.
