NAG-APOLOGIZE na si Brigadier General Nolasco Bathan ng Southern Police District sa GMA reporter na si Jun Veneracion dahil kinumpiska nito ang cellphone during the Traslacion noong Huwebes.
Posting the video of Gen. Bathan’s apology sa kanyang Twitter account, nag-react ang news anchor at TV host na si Atom Araullo, “A sincere apology? In the recorded video, B/Gen Bathan clearly knew who @jun_veneracion was AND clearly intended to snatch his cellphone to delete his footage.
“Unless the officer believed that Jun’s documentation was a “threat” (why and how?) this statement is still untruthful.”
Marami ang nag-react sa Twitter post na iyon ni Atom.
“Hi Sir Atom. Kindly give our sincerest regards and appreciation to Sir Jun Veneracion. One of the trusted journalist of our time. We admire his courage to bring the truth to the people.”
“This has the same energy, same line of reasoning HK police gave after an officer shot a civilian point blank.”
“Apologizing already because he is now at the losing end as a consequence of his malicious mischief. Too unbecoming of an officer. Tsk tsk tsk.”
“NAKU, DI KAPANI PANIWALA ANG SORRY NIYAN! TANGA NA LANG MANINIWALA JAN!”
“Nako Mamang Police..push po na magfile ka Idol @jun_veneracion ng complaint against sa police na yan..alagad pa naman ng batas pero sya dapat patikimin ng batas.”

Pinalagan ng netizens ang tila malaking pagbabago na ikakasa ni Mayor Isko Moreno sa celebration ng Pista ng Poong Nazareno.
“Unang-una piyesta ng Quiapo, hindi piyesta ng Luneta, hindi piyesta ng Malate.”
“We might consider more changes in the near future because we have also to respect others’ rights to use the roads lalo na yung mga major thoroughfares.”
‘Yan ang say ni Mayor Isko na hindi nagustuhan ng mga namamanata. Talagang bash ang inabot ni Yorme sa social media because of that.
“Breaking a religious tradition could start a downfall in your leadership.”
“Lumabas na ang totoong Iskoy, mayor pa lang yan, pati traslacion limitahan na, hindi pa cya ipinanganak dyan na yan ang deboto mga katoliko.”
“Lalo mo lang pinasasama imahe mo. Majority of voters are Catholic. Remember that.”
“Lumalabas ang totoo mong kulay. Hindi lang taga Maynila ang naiinis sa iyo.”
“Sige lang Yorme. Asarin mo ang milyong milyong deboto na hindi na boboto sayo sa susunod na eleksiyon. I love it!”
