Rep Manny Pacquiao’s confirmed username “@CongMP” is now deleted. Twitter users had a lot to say as you can see from curated tweets below. Let me be clear about tweets like these below:
@momblogger, the TWEET is mightier than the FIST. Unfortunately, Alaxan doesn’t work on bruised egos.
Twitter has done what many have tried and failed to do — knock out @congMP
Seems like no person can take #MannyPacquiao @CongMP down. However, a bird know as #twitter finally knocked him out. how’s that. >_<
The winner is @momblogger , @CongMP knock out! ang pikon ay laging talo!
@RAndRat @momblogger Kayo na.. kayo na ang nakapataob sa 8-division world champion X-D i can’t stop laughing.. haha
There is nothing to gloat about the deletion of his account. It was not intended to be. I would have wanted to continue engaging with him on Twitter. Too bad, he chose the easy way out instead of clarifying about his “e di mag reklamo ka doon sa lolo mo hahahaha ”
I got a few hate tweets. If you followed me in Twitter for some time, you are probably aware that I do monitor the attendance of House Representatives. I make a fuss when they are late for sessions too. So don’t think, Cong Pacquiao is being singled out. Read more details in my other article Rep. Manny Pacquiao tweets on Twitter’s fifth anniversary.
