The camp of Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has turned the table on Senator Manny Villar, saying it was the latter’s supporters who have “constantly infiltrated” Aquino’s website and fan page on Facebook.
“We bemoan the latest accusation thrown our way and would like to respectfully state that it has been Senator (Manny) Villar's supporters that have constantly infiltrated Senator Noynoy's website and Facebook fan page, infecting them with derogatory remarks unfit for print,” said Leah Navarro, content head of Aquino’s New Media Bureau.
Navarro was reacting to earlier statement by Villar’s Nacionalista Party, accusing Aquino’s supporters of trying to hack the party’s website.
In belying this accusation, Navarro pointed out that Aquino’s online presence has been consistently dominant attributing it to what she claimed as “our positive online campaign, which mirrors the principles of our principal,”
She even furnished a copy of their own monitoring of the candidates “fans” and online supporters, showing Aquino still keeping his lead over his rivals.
As of April 19, Aquino has further widened his lead over Villar on Facebook with 1,286,090 number of fans as against the Villar’s 1,209,108. Next is former defense secretary Gilbert Teodoro with 263,640.
Aquino’s lead over Villar rose to 77,356 from 56,968 as of April 12.
Aquino also maintained his lead even on the number of followers on Twitter with 49,215, Teodoro with 14,856, Villar with only 2,028, Senator Richard Gordon with 1,278, and former president Joseph Estrada with 1,040 as of April 19.
