Comedienne Ethel Booba took to Twitter to leave a message for Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. after he revealed that a former passport contractor of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ran away with the data and information of some passport holders.
Ethel Booba told Locsin to “own” and “fix” the problem so that people can move on from it.
She posted the tweet after Locsin posted on Twitter that the passport data breach issue was caused by the “yellow crowd” or the “Dilawan”, as many Filipinos call those who are against the current administration.
“The problem started under GMA’s DFA and got worse under PNoy’s DFA. It will be solved by PRRD’s DFA under [Locsin].
“The yellow crowd who perpetrated the passport fraud are in a panic because we are gonna autopsy their crooked deal. Period,” Locsin’s tweet reads.
As a response to Locsin’s tweet, Ethel Booba wrote: “Did it happen during those aforementioned admins? No. This happened under your watch. Now own it and fix it so we can move on. Gosh, it contains my fingerprints, signature and gender. Charot!”

Locsin previously vowed to get to the bottom of the passport data loss and reveal the identity of the culprit behind it.
“Those behind the passport mess will launch a social media campaign against me. I will identify them. Apparently, the mess crosses partisan lines,” he said.
