To whom the tomatoes are for?

On Monday, Sunstar Davao's Banner story reads, Nograles threatens ABS-CBN with libel." House Speaker Prospero Nograles wanted ABS-CBN DAvao to retract the news that claimed tomatoes were thrown at his congressional office during a protest against Constituent Assembly on June 10. Nograles said "that the tomatoes were not thrown in his office but on the street in front of his office along Quirino Avenue in Davao City." He also criticized the TV station when he said ""ABS-CBN TV and radio reported that tomatoes were thrown in my office or my residence. Now they show videos of tomatoes thrown in the street. That's not factual. You see how biased and twisted reporting of the press here because they are under the payroll?"

Militant leaders like Kelly Delgado in a follow-up interview asserted "the tomatoes are for those who helped pass the House Bill 1109." Speaker Nograles is one of the Congressman who supported the bill."

Today, "two members of the City Council chided House Speaker Prospero Nograles for being "onion-skinned" when he threatened a television network of libel charges if they refuse to retract their story on an alleged tomato throwing incident last June 10."

I also posted the link to the story at my Facebook and i got a rather harsh reactions from Dabawenyos. Here are some of their opinions, names withheld for security reasons.

In my own opinion, Nograles is only showing his ignorance in the freedom of democracy...Threatening media correspondence is an arrogance and abuse of his power being a political K9 of the PGMA presidency...Nograles was purely influenced with the CHA-CHA virus to preserved him in the 'Tower of Demons'...

The speaker asserts his "right to reply" while ABS-CBN Davao strongly uphold the fact for the video speak for itself. You can review the story about tomato throwing at abs-cbnnow.com.
