Sue them! Netizens tell Zambo Mayor Beng to file libel charges vs. defamers’

NETIZENS HAVE called on Mayor Beng Climaco to sue those defaming and maligning her administration and to file libel charges against trolls and black propagandists besmirching her persona.



In posts left on the Facebook account of Climaco, dozens of Netizens defended the hardworking mayor against all criticisms and fake news and false information spread by her foes.

This after Climaco branded as “very malicious and very dangerous” the false information and fake news being peddled by her foes and political trolls in the middle of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

Climaco blasted propagandists, who are spreading fake news on social media, particularly on Facebook, and especially on the issue of the rising number of Covid-19 infections and the late releasing of test results by health authorities.

“Actualmente este insinuations are very malicious and very dangerous, as Local Chief Executive you do not know what it feels every time I received a (report of Covid) positive case. No one would want to endanger Zamboanga City, aquellos que tiene malicioso pensamiento que ta pensa que ta queda kita alegre na maga caso positivo is very dangerous. Poreso gane este maga tiempo mas bueno pa si concentra ya lang kita na de atun trabaho imbes de hace calayat maga false information.”

“We are really praying that every Zamboangueño be healed because if every Zamboangueño is healed then Zamboanga City will be able to recover. Stop insinuating and stop accusing (and) let us work together for the benefit of Zamboanga City,” Climaco said.

Pati mga laboratory worker ta ase sila sira, si ta abla sila ta ase daya el result. Kien ba ta ase result? Di ba mga laboratory? Hays (sic).”

This was also what Anna Marie Cabato-Araneta wrote: “Sue them Mayor Beng!”
Jobet Bedayo commented: “Manda man imbistiga Mayor para once and for all sabe si kita si sikien se ang mga trolls.”

Alberto Kwan Jr. urged Climaco not to be affected by those who criticized herm saying she is doing a great job. “Wag niyo sila pansinin Mayor...inggit lang mga yan... you’re doing a great job. Be safe always,” he wrote.

One Netizen who goes by the name “Silver Spinner Etneciv” has left a strong worded message to those maligning Climaco and called them “monkeys.” “Chongo! Esos mga jente. Numas irbi sangre Mam Beng! We all know and we can see how much you care for us Zamboangueños. We love you,” he said.

Nel Irilis offered prayers to all those afflicted by Covid-19. “Let’s all pray for the healing and recovery of every (Covid-19) positive individuals in our city.”

And Edmond Lape urged Climaco to fight the trolls. “Laban lang Mayor,” he wrote on the mayor’s social media page.

But for Ivy Aguas, she suggested that Climaco should give out awards to trolls. “I am waiting Mam Beng, ase tu video para award kunel mga trolls kay ase yo na TikTok,”she said, referring to the Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance and use to create short dance, lip-sync, comedy and talent videos.

Aguas added: “C balyente sila porke dummy account ta usa, cobardon man.”

Christine dela Cruz has written a lengthy comment and branding the trolls as defamer for maligning Climaco on her own Facebook page. “Where are the trolls? Shame on you! Always complaining and defaming the reports in this page. Now with this post, looks like the so-called radical thinkers can't seem to type a word. Good luck Mayor Beng and keep doing what is best for Zambo. Your dedication and concern for your constituents will prevail. God bless!”

Netizens also expressed love and empathy for Climaco. “One for all, all for one kita Mam Beng, hope and pray that this pandemic will end soon. Salute to you our beloved Mayor, God bless you always, and our City of Zamboanga as well,” wrote Winnie Flores.
“God bless Mam Beng, we love you,” said GGie Bongalos Ramones.

“All the love and support to our beloved Mayor Beng Climaco! We love you Mayor Beng,” Anthony Juaton also commented.

Cath Erine also wrote: “Saan na ung mga mahilig mag insinuate. Labas na! Sabagay dummy account lang naman ang ginagamit nila. Tama nga naman, walang may gusto na magkaroon ng Covid ang Zamboanga at ginagawa ng mga front-liners anf kanilang mga trabaho na naaayon sa sinumpaan nilang tungkulin.”

“Kasuhan na yan para di mamihasa,” said 1Rchell Llnipa, echoing what other Netizens urged Climaco to do.

Francis Clair Zamora said: “Lejos pe el election ta ase ya malo. Amo gat el trabaho de esos, se ta mira bueno el andanza del administration, ta ase propaganda.”

“Be strong Mayor Beng. Manada kame tan pray para kontigo. Mucho tu ya man touch mga lives, especially mga jovenes de amun time akel kwando hinde pa tu na politica. God bless and more power,” said Chiara Belle.

Public Safety

Climaco said the local task force on Covid-19 and health authorities are exercising all measures to ensure public safety despite being under the General Community Quarantine based on the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases and approved by President Rodrigo Duterte.

“We are really exercising every ounce of safety measures and sometimes people think the City Government is very slow, but we have to be safe than sorry,” Climaco said, adding, the local government has to set three vital measures to further combat the spread of the deadly Covid-19 disease following the emergence of new positive cases.

“We have to set three very important measures: One is to strengthen the monitoring in our barangay health emergency response; second is to provide opportunity for data collection and contact tracing and next, we need to also prepare system and a module where every individual Zamboangueño is responsible enough when they are in public. So these three (important measures) have to be set in place so that we will be able to be in a more relaxed, new normal process in the city of Zamboanga,” she said.

“Na favor de Dios, el de atun maga paciente de Covid-19 ta recobre embuenamente con el amor, ayuda y compacion del de atun mga medical front-liners pero mientras tiene ta recobre, tiene tamen ta umenta el caso. We need to remain vigilant and to continue carrying out the minimum health protocols. To move forward and to rise from the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, we need to balance el de atun health and the economy poreso ay esperanza kita el declaracion del national IATF so cosa ya ba el status del ciudad de Zamboanga,” Climaco added.

City Health Officer Dr. Dulce Amor Miravite was also saddened by the spread of the black propaganda, saying, health authorities are working hard to ensure the safety of everyone against the Covid-19.

Climaco said Zamboanga is facing a health crisis, yet her foes continue to take advantage of the pandemic in destroying the unified efforts of the local government in addressing the Covid-19 situation because of vested political interest.

She said: “Bien grande el problema ahora, man politica pa kita? Nosabe gane kita hasta cuando este crisis, nosabe gane kita si quien esta vivo y quien el despide y bien lejos pa gayot el eleccion, bien mucho ta gasta, ta basya cen alli na maga Facebook (sponsored) pages para hace malo con este administracion. Apurao man gayot man compania, ta tomo bentaja na situacion siendo bien busy kita atende con el necesidad, trabaja anay para protecta con el ciudad. I need to keep my focus on the urgent task as Mayor rather than answering all your insinuations.”

“I need to work because this is my sworn duty and the people of Zamboanga elected me to serve you as your Mayor, to protect our City most especially in this time of the pandemic. With God’s grace and la Virgen Nuestra Señora del Pilar, este el de mio tercer termino que ustedes ya dale el victoria para sirvir con ustedes and I will not fail the people of Zamboanga. I will continue to do what is needed to protect our people and focus on what matters in this time of the pandemic with God’s grace, to heal the sick and feed the hungry,” she added.

Climaco’s political supporters have previously denounced what they claimed was an orchestrated black propaganda peddled in social media, especially in sponsored public groups believed being funded by anti-Climaco forces.

The black propaganda, they said is being used to attack Climaco’s integrity and her strong moral principles, and moral uprightness. And even the local government’s welfare programs are being maligned anti-Climaco groups to reinforce the spread of fake news on social media.

Climaco’s political advisers also echoed the same suspicion and said all the black propaganda and fake news against the mayor is part of a strategy as early as today in preparation for the next elections. One of her adviser’s likened these black propagandists to a cancer cell that multiplies and attacks the good cells, but “the mayor’s hard work and outstanding and transparent governance is like a strong antibody that completely destroys the cancer.”

This is Climaco’s last and final term and several political personalities are eyeing the top post and the vice mayoralty position, including the two congressional seats. (Zamboanga Post)
