PH’s state-run network just roasted their boss

Whoops?

It must be tough to be a government employee nowadays. As much as you want to publicly air your honest thoughts about the year-long lockdown and the ‘excellent’ pandemic response, you simply can’t.

Doing so would be similar to roasting your own boss in a group chat. But someone at the People’s Television Network (PTV) apparently didn’t get the memo, when the state-run entity tweeted #DutertePalpak in one of its presidential updates.

The original tweet read: ‘President Rodrigo R. #dutertepalpak BTS reiterated his order to provide free masks for the public especially to those who cannot buy their own.’

Whether it was an honest mistake or a social media manager tendering their resignation, PTV later apologized for the misstep and claimed they’re ‘investigating the intent behind this malicious post’.

#DutertePalpak trended on Twitter during the anniversary of the Philippine lockdowns, which has claimed more than 12 thousand lives and rendered 4 million others unemployed.

The hashtag was further fueled by the government’s claim of an excellent pandemic response in the midst of a recent surge that raised the country’s total cases to more than 620k.
