Manila: Presidential Spokesperson Sal Panelo sets the record straight as regards the inclusion of TV host Gretchen Ho and Olympic medalist Hidylin Diaz in the list of personalities who were allegedly plotting to oust the Duterte government.
Panelo explained that the confusion was brought about by the wrong interpretation of the media on the matrices he presented.
“No, I think those who should apologize are those who wrongly analyzed,” he said on Friday in Malacañang.
Panelo added that their names were only included in the matrix to show the activities and interest of metrobalita.net owner Rodel Jayme. This, he said, doesn’t mean they are part of any conspiracy plans against the government.
Malacanang Press Corps pointed out that Ho and Diaz were in the diagrams that he presented. Panelo then clarified that only “major players” like the Liberal Party and Magdalo are part of the conspiracy.
He admitted that he only saw the matrices minutes before the press briefing.
