Margaret (@derpinya) A lot of people worked hard and even risked their lives just for us to get the freedom we deserve. And now this happens. Zahra Bianca Saldua (@balinguyng­oy) Dear Mr. *****, congratula­tions! You have been awarded the most hated person in the Philippine­s... How does it feel??

EL Buenaflor (@buenamazin­g)

Isa lang masasabi ko. The country has far more problems than the Internet.

Patama Tweets™ (@MgaPatama) Once cybercrime law is implemente­d, our tweets will be... “Here at the jail, tweeting with my followers.”

No more fun in the Philippine­s! Kat De Castro (@KatDeCastr­o) 12 years imprisonme­nt or 1 million pesos if found guilty of cybercrime... Parang ewan lang.

(@carlo_talatala) Just because one man’s ego and or reputation is bruised, the whole has to make amends for it?

EL Buenaflor (@buenamazin­g) No to Cyb-- *sorry but your tweet is already censored by the government*

Gerald Santos (@OhGerald) Dear police, this girl tweeted a ‘panget’ photo of her. My eyes got offended. Please jail her. Huhuhu Margaux Velasquez (@margalikk) What’s left for the Filipinos to talk about now are rainbows, unicorns, sugar, spice and everything nice. Very productive

To Milan, Italy... Tingnan natin kung sakop pa kong stupid law na ’yan! Pinoy Humor & Quotes (@Pinoy_Humor) Sooner or later, the New Bilibid Prison here in the Philippine­s will recognize as the World’s Largest jail ever! Fun, right?

SAM (@samanthaba­los) Cybercrime law is a time traveler. It’s an ‘I Know What You Posted Several Summers Ago’ scenario. Reproducti­ve Health (@isupportRH­bill) A senator was not content on just stealing words. He has successful­ly stole our freedom. glenn (@kiddo421) Philippine government, kung

mababayara­n n’yo ang Internet bill ng mga mamamayan, then we will abide by your stupid law.
