MJ Reyes Burns TV Presenter Ed Lingao on Her Controversial Tweet Against Maria Ressa

One of the most vocal supporter of Pres. Rody Duterte on social, MJ Quiambao Reyes who made headlines earlier for her tweet against Maria Ressa made headlines anew on social media as he burned down TV presenter Ed Lingao.


Although MJ Reyes did not name Ed Lingao on his latest Facebook post, most netizens suggests that his latest rants on social media was intended to the veteran journalist who made a lengthy post regarding Reyes' response on Maria Ressa's tweet.

MJ Reyes burned down the TV Reporter as he reminded him that during the time of former Pres. Aquino, the "clowns and journos" did nothing at the time when 23 of their collegues were getting killed and whtn the Philippines was considered as among the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists.



According to MJ Reyes she was totally disgusted on how the TV reporter acts right now, totally and conveniently forgotten the past and everything he said to have written. Reyes also noted that the TV presenter should remember that it was PRRD who issued Administrative Order #1 primarily to protect the lives of the journalists including himslet, how incessantly criticize and demonize him.

Here's the Complete Statement of MJ Quiambao Reyes:

This is in response to Mr. TV Reporter's lengthy post re: my response on Maria Ressa's tweet:

1. Though my question was addressed in general to the "clowns and journos" who did nothing at the time when 23 of their colleagues were getting killed and when the Phils. was considered as among the most dangerous countries in the world for journos during the past admin, I still welcome and appreciate your response. While I also did not categorically classify you as among the "clowns" (as, in fact, I used to admire you), I shall respect your right to consider yourself as one of them if you so wish.

2. Yes, it should be 23 journos killed on the first 40 months during BS Aquino's term (not first 40 weeks). Still 23 journos killed on the 1st 3 years of his admin is no joke. Compare that to PRRD's first 20 months where ALL of the President's harshest critics and purveyors of fake news against the govt. are still very much alive!

3. While I appreciate the article you claim to have co-written in 2013 (re: journos getting killed), I am totally disgusted on how you now act like you have totally and conveniently forgotten the past and everything you said to have written.

Gaano po ba kahirap amining: Noon, ang mga journalists pinapatay. Ngayon, minumura lang ng mga Filipinong galit sa biased news habang hinahangaan at ginagawa pa ngang bayani ng mga dilaw, BCC, ICC, pati na ng simbahan.

4. Must we remind you and the others too that it was PRRD who issued Administrative Order #1 primarily to protect the lives of the journalists (yourself included) who incessantly criticize & demonize him.

5. I'm not here to belittle the threats or bashing that any of you may have received (if any). All I want is for journos to be truthful and fair--wag naman OA pa sa OA! Kung makangawa kasi kayo ngayon, you make it look like kinakawawa, binubusalan, at kinakatay kayo. Siguro naman po Journalism at hindi Theatre Arts ang tinapos ninyo. I get it that some of you did not even finish college, and that's just fine. But--for the life of me, if you want to be respected as a reporter, then start acting like one (unless you want to give Coco Martin a run for his money).

6. On your & your followers' question as to where I was before Duterte:

In my "alternate universe", I was (and still am) busy working my ass off and providing livelihood to some--that while also uncovering and exposing the corruption and anomalies of several greedy politicians & crooks! The difference is, unlike you, I am not in any one's payroll.

And oh, while I also got and continue to get all forms of threats and all kinds of bashing, I did not and do not whine. I did not and do not use the victim's card or play hero. I knew the risks and I was and still am ready to accept the consequences of my actions--then and now.

Walang drama. Walang camera. Walang paawa.
