Move over, Leila de Lima, Jover Laurio is here
UNLIKE Cocoy Dayao, who disappeared after being outed by RJ Nieto aka Thinking Pinoy, Sass Rogando Sasot and VOV PH, Jover Laurio outed herself after being doxed by Nieto. And she did it in an arrogant manner, declaring audaciously that she will see in court all those who have caused her harm and violated her privacy.
This is coming from a woman who just days ago was an anonymous blogger named Pinoy Ako Blog who slandered and maligned seven senators. She is the same anonymous blogger who called DSWD assistant secretary Lorraine Badoy “and Sass Rogando Sasot a sex worker in the Netherlands. And this is just a sample of the vitriol that she has unleashed.
This woman owes me big time. Just because she disagreed with my politics, she libeled me.
When I said, “So what if Mocha Uson was appointed assistant secretary? Leni Robredo
this woman retorted: “So what if Mocha Uson was appointed assistant secretary. Antonio Contreras professor, And this is the big difference. There are those who make political commentary without committing libel. Jover Laurio is not of that species. I would have not minded if she just ended with “Antonio Contreras professor.” After all, if I can question the credentials of Leni Robredo to become Vice President, I cannot deny anyone the right to question my credentials to become a professor.
But Jover Laurio went beyond her constitutionally guaranteed free speech, and assaulted my character by alleging that “
And this is the woman who appears to have become the overnight sensation of the opposition, their new poster girl of sorts, a rallying point for their allegation that the Duterte government, enabled by his social media army, is out to curtail their freedoms.
And the succession of events just prove how orchestrated the spin was. The PR of the opposition must have been very busy, sending Cocoy the focus on Jover Laurio.
And there she was, in a dizzying public exposure, promoted by memes in social media and accolades from former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay to journalist John Nery to jailed sena- tor Leila de Lima.
Rappler did not lose time interviewing her. Mainstream media, which was eerily silent when Nieto, Sasot and VOV PH broke the story on #CocoyGate, suddenly found interest on this comely UPLB graduate who is taking up law and who lives a double life by moonlighting as an anonymous writer of libel. They gave her dramatic coming out a prominent coverage. John Nery invited her to a forum at the Ateneo. She - preciation which she gleefully posted in her social media page. And she was interviewed live on BBC
Jover Laurio is now playing the victim card, of how her privacy was violated, her pictures wearing a bikini being displayed without her permission, and her life being turned upside down, forcing her to leave work and school.
