Senator Richard Gordon believes that Malacañang should issue an apology to Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz.
This comes as stories of the so-called ‘Oust Duterte’ matrix resurfaced which was released in 2019 and included the name of the weightlifting champion.
“I think to a certain extent, at the very least they should say ‘we made a mistake, we’re sorry, we’re happy that she won. This is the information we got and maybe we should not have done it that way and opened our mouths.’ That’s why big mouths don’t make big men,” Gordon said in an interview on ABS-CBN.

Former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made public six matrices allegedly trying to overthrown the administration. One of the personalities linked to the plot was Diaz.
Panelo denied that he included Diaz in the ouster plot. He also blamed the media for concluding that the government tagged Diaz as one of the destabilizers.
“There’s no accounting for good taste, there’s no accounting for ethics, if you’re a man, you act like a man and you own up to it. I have always owned up to my mistakes,” Gordon said. (TDT)
