To frame husband, wife posts threat to Duterte using his account

A woman was arrested after admitting to creating a fake Facebook account under her husband’s name to frame him for threats against President Rodrigo Duterte.

According to a 24 Oras report by John Consulta on Wednesday, a security guard’s post made rounds on social media for making several threats to the President along with a picture of him doing the dirty finger gesture.

“Duterte… mamamatay tao ka, kriminal, pinasara mo pa ABS-CBN. Hayop ka, ‘wag ka magtago sa Malacañang. Lumabas ka, suntukan tayo. Babasagin ko mukha mo. Papatayin kita,” the post read.

However, the man who allegedly made the post denied any involvement.

“‘Yung dirty finger na po ‘yun, 2016 o 2017 pa po ‘yung picture na ‘yun. Tapos pinag-combine po sa picture ni sir Presidente Duterte na nag-post na hahamunin tapos pagmumurahin at papatayin ko po raw, sabi do’n sa post,” he explained.

“E nag-viral na po, siyempre kinabahan ako, ang dami pong nagsasabi sa’kin na papatayin daw po ako, pinagbabantaan daw po ako ng mga tao,” the man added.

In an entrapment operation, the National Bureau of Investigation’s Cybercrime Division nabbed the suspect—the man’s wife alias Shirley.

She confessed that she made the fake account and post using her husband’s name over a marital issue.

“Sa sobrang galit lang po ta’s hindi ko po akalain na gano’n po ‘yung mangyayari, ‘yung magva-viral po,” Shirley said.

“Mr. President Duterte, humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa inyo. ‘Di ko po gustong gawin na madamay po kayo sa away naming mag-asawa,” she added.

Shirley has undergone inquest procedures for identity theft and grave threats.

The arrest came a day after a public school teacher from Zambales was arrested after posting on social media a reward offer to anyone who can kill Duterte. The man later apologized but an inciting to sedition complaint was still filed against him. -Julia Mari Ornedo/MDM, GMA News
