Angel Locsin calls out Tito Sotto for ‘liking’ a tweet that tags her as terrorist

Actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin has called out Senate President Tito Sotto for ‘liking’ a tweet that tags her as a supporter of the New People’s Army (NPA)—the armed group of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
 
In her tweet, Locsin posted a screenshot of the senator liking the Twitter post of  user @prokape that said “She’s been a pro-NPA since Day 1.”
 
“Saw that you liked this tweet. I will never support terrorists, nor will I ever support any kind of violence. You have the right to like any tweet. And we have the right to voice out our opinions. I hope we don’t get tagged as a terrorist for doing so. Thank you,” she said.
 
Locsin has been recently recognized for her humanitarian efforts in the Philippines, raising funds for affected Filipinos during calamities such as typhoons, the Taal volcano eruption, and the coronavirus disease pandemic.
 
The Twitter came follows the passage of Anti-Terror Bill, which punishes anyone who will threaten to commit terrorism, as well as those who will propose or incite terrorism.
