In case you don’t know, Lascañas was interviewed by BBC, basically reprising the same allegations he made on local media against Duterte.
The video interview was uploaded on the Facebook page of BCC and has since gathered 415,000 views, 6,250 reactions and 3.077 shares.
As expected, Duterte supporters descended upon the Facebook page of BBC News in droves to defend President Duterte from Lascañas allegations against the president.
The most notable comment came from one of the staunchest defenders of Duterte on social media, Krizette Laureta Chu who enumerated a litany of reasons why Duterte’s enemies who have an axe to grind against him is using Lascañas to destroy the president’s image in the eyes of the world and his own people.
Krizette’s comment is such a huge hit among social media people sympathetic to President Duterte that it has gathered 1,192 likes and 90 comments on Facebook. Check out the long comment below.
“I am a Filipino and this man is a liar. He is backed by the oligarchs Duterte kicked out of the office. Why don’t you research who is behind him?
Leila De Lima, the Minister of Justice of the past administration, who is the mother of all drug lords as alleged by the drug lords themselves. She made our national jail Drug Central, so the convicted drug lords could actually cook meth and distribute it to the outside world from the national penitentiary.
Antonio Trillanes, who once asked to be the vice president of Duterte during the elections and was turned down by the President. He led a failed coup during the previous Arroyo administration because he has always been a power grabber. He has conducted treasonous talks with China without the knowledge of the Filipino people.
The Liberal Party. The Opposition party who used to be the ruling party in the previous administration. They effed up the Typhoon Haiyan donations, so that your country’s donations never reached Leyte, where I am from. They have a litany of misdeeds in the Philippines. Most of its ruling members have mining interests. Guess what is one of Duterte’s biggest advocacies–yes, shutting down irresponsible mines. The previous Liberal Party-led government was one of the most inefficient, most corrupt, most evil administrations the Philippines has ever witnessed.
Do you remember the Hong Kong tourists killed in that bus because the Aquino government was too stupid to respond to this hostage crisis? And then refused to apologize after?
That symbolizes the inefficiency and the arrogance of the government we just replaced.
Right now, the current government of Duterte is in the process of auditing the lost Typhoon Haiyan funds. So far, billions are unaccounted for.
So many people from the Liberal Party are in the danger of going to jail after their wrongdoings and secrets are revealed, supported by actual documents.
Why do you think there is desperation to destabilize the current government?
Who is funding Lascanas? Please do a background check on him. A man with a kidney disease, his family left the Ph before he made this preposterous charges against the government. Where did they get the money?
Why don’t you focus on the really important things like Syria? The people there need our help.
I am a Filipino and I will fight against the destabilizers of this country.
By the way, only Western media condemning the President. Asia has good relations with our President. Interesting, isnt it?
For the past 30 years, we were blind to our own government robbing us blind. No more. We will fight to keep Duterte, and we will fight so that no Liberal Party member will ever have the chance to get a government seat again.
PS: Just in case you ever get the idea that Duterte’s defenders are paid trolls, you can ask one of your reporters named Jonathan Head. He knows me.”

well said. you are a brave woman, and I salute you for your courage in defense of our President Duterte’s cause. Continue what you have started and don’t stop the war till it is finished. That stupid idiot Lascanas was used as a pawn like a suicide bomber without a bomb. A puppet in the strings without balls and even without brains!! I am with you in this fight! We will not allow the destabilizers to ruin and destroy our fight for Change in a better Philippines!!
Lascanas is a rubbish and sick person…a man of no integrity..for his love of money…he should be in a trash bin
Tanginang kwentong pagong na yan bias din pala BBC news magkanu natanggap nyong suhol kabubuhang documentaryo!
only morons will believe him…….he is a fake witness paid by LP….BBC dont ever be fooled by this idiot man in our country….Demonio Trillianes was his handler……
Sorry to say this but BBC news are just like bias media in our country they don’t care as long they are paid good.
The previous ruling party (Dilawan) together with the oligarchs in the Philippines have tried and continue to try ganging up on Pres. Duterte because they wanted to continue ruling our country for their business vested interest. They wanted the Pilipino people wallow in poverty by using other foreign media and other foreign government instrumentalities and organizations to malign, so that Pres. Duterte will be taken out of office. You continue to believe in Lascanas when he testified already during our previous Senate Inquiry testifying under oath all what he said now is not true. Now BBC paid him for an interview to tell lies when one of your correspondent made a BBC documentary that there was no extra judicial killings (EJK) in the Philippines. And now you want to believe the lies of Lascanas. What a stupid thing to do. You want to be fooled by a guy who is a fool. After the first Senate investigation and after he gave his testimony under oath, he went to some government offices where he tried to get government contracts but failed in so many attempts. These are the very reasons why he went berserk accusing our President of crimes he is responsible, if you believed in what he said to you. You want to make a fake news report just like you did in Syria, please do not do it in the Philippines because we have been governed by people who are concerned of there stomach but not the 90% Pilipinos who are suffering…
Dont think We are stupid enough to believe him… To tell the whole world that killing criminals is against humanity..where is humanity when they act like animals when they raped women and kill them helplessly…
A very good point, and fully understandable for a Filipino like me who grew up in the Philippines. Even though I am now an expatriot, I fully understand the standpoint of the Filipino majority, and it is well said into this blog of Ms. Chu. The opposition may use their efforts, money and influence inside and outside the country, but it is the majority that rules. I think the majority will now keep the present situation ito their heart since they are the only one who knew and feel what the truth is. Of course, many will be selling their opinion because of poverty, but after visiting the Philippines from October to February this year, I can see the big change both in the properity and attitude of the Filipinos. Of course, the administration cannot change the whole situation due to the people who are still “pasaway”, and those politicians that always articulistic because of their blind campaign in bringing back the old and corrupt policy instead of cooperating.
I guess we must not forget the silent treats from the religious party and the double sided politicians. They are the most dangerous factors and sleeping cells in the Philippines. Obviously, there also some awakening changes in those sides. One can see and hear the catholic priests using their image to campaign for their evil alliance and hide in their lamb camouflage instead of revealing their real wolfy intention. I can see that majority of the Filipinos now are using their common sense instead of obeying to what those priest are telling them. Of course some of those priest are now in alliance of the presnet administration, and thanks to them that they also have courage to express their opinions. People, just see how the Vatican prospire from the wealth of those coutry they oppressed during the time of Spanish Inquisition, and still stealing the alms from the believers.
I am a born Catholic myself, but I use my own judgement and sense to go for my own reasoning and opinion. The bible says a lots of good things, but we do not need others to make it more complicated and drive us to fanaticism.
Long live President Duterte.
if words are arrows lascanas and his “bosses” are already obliterated from mother earth.
people behind lascanas are monstrous they would make it appear that darkness is light. as loida lewes, one of the LP masterminds instructed: “it does not have to be true, it only has to look like it.”
That old sick guy is a Liar & a paid witness! What made you think that he can afford to stay in Singapore on his own? It is so because he is funded by some oligarchs who want to bring back the fallen LP led administration! The Previous Administration is so corrupt & they are so afraid to face charges under the present administration because they stole money from the government like DAP & PDAF, that’s why they want to overthrow the present Administration! BBC please stop those lies & Let truth reign in the Philippines ! We Filipinos Love how Duterte runs the government, so leave us alone! Our President is working for the Filipinos! Let him be!
Stupid BBC still entertain the versions of Lascanas story?!? BBC maybe was afflicted the yellowtards’ virus.
Senator Trillanes and LP are funding this guys so D30 will be out of office , bcoz right now DUTERTE is looking and investigating the TYPHOON HAIYAN wold donation that is been stolen by AQUINO ADMINISTRATION including TRILLANES. BILLIONS of DOLLARS never reach the intended purpose to help the people devastated by TYPHOON HAIYAN. But again VICTIMIZED by their own AQUINO GOVERMENT by POCKETING the DONATIONS. Maybe your COUNTRY is a DONOR ? You also been VICTIMIZED by AQUINO and TRILLANE et al.
Well said Ms. Krizette Chu. I say no more because i re-echo everything you said. As a Filipono, i am praying that BBC will not allow biases and twisted truth about President Duterte. That BBC will not use its wide media coverage as instrument to destabilize our country!
very well said Ms. Chu. Everything you mentioned in your statement is true. Thanks for informing everyone who seemed to be ignorant of the things that are happening in our country, especially the good things that the present administration has done. BBC should know all of these. That guy Lascanas is not credible!
I dont really know about Mayor Duterte..what I know now is that here is a man who is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his country and the first of his kind to seriously start the change of our dear Philippines and I believed and trusted this man! For EU,UN and the western media…before you mock our Pres. Duterte,go to SYRIA first and see for your self the real maning of HUMAN RIGHTS! Or to MYANMAR and lecture us about HUMAN RIGHTS you idiots!For me HUMAN RIGHT is for HUMAN BEING not for animals in the streets who peddled DRUGS and kill people to sustain their evil cravings for DRUGS or SHABU..
The Filipino people and also the people around us,the UN,America,EU,,members of ASEAN countries did not discipline their sons and daughters from the beginning of their life on how to respect life so much so that the children don’t know what is good or what is bad.Discipline should start from the first day of marriage of the husband and wife.The couple then has to do things the right way so their offspring so nobody will commit a sin for ever.But what happen?They did not care so much so that even Lascanas commit a sin of tremendous capacity that even today he does not know what is right or wrong. He claims that he is a lawyer but doesn’t know that you can only testify ones in court for the truth and can not testify again for another truth that makes it two truths!.A lawyer knows that you can testify only ones for the truth otherwise you can be accused of perjury.Now go back to parenting.We should discipline our children right from their birth up to the time that they no longer need us.Look at the children now,they were using shabu and killed by the authorities when confronted on their drugs they were carrying.Who is to be blame then?, of course the parents!And who should have taught them the good manners and right conduct?The ones that solemnized the marriage because in that ceremony,you were asked that do you accept this man or woman as your lawful husband and wife tell death do you part for better or worse and that your offspring will be guide by you especially parents from committing a sin so that the society will be a good one that nobody can say something bad on the society that we create.The root of all evil was not the money but the lack of discipline perpetuated by the parents of today and of yesterday.I bet all people did not know what was your purpose in life.I’ll tell you what,your purposed in life is to go back to GOD clean and with out sin.!Can you do that Lascanas,Trillanes,Matobato,De lima and all people who have experimented on drugs?That will be your assignment but until then the Philippines and the whole world will not be a better place to live with.
I am one of the silent majority, who praises what our present administration is doing right now, and many thanks to our dear President who heeded the call of our nation to be great again….and as for you Lascanas, your already a part of our history, a paid liar and we hope that BBC will not allow those kind of biases and twisted truth that he portray to the world……..we have enough and we know the truth…..thanks for the many people who love their country and supported our dear President DUTERTE…kudos to Ms. Krizette Chu….keep up the good work….GOD bless
BBC report is one-sided, they could have also interviewed communities who now feel safe because of Pres. Duterte’s campaign against illegal drugs.
This YELLOW LIBERAL PARTY IS A DEMONIC EMPIRE RUN BY EVIL DESIRES, GREEDIEST TO THE FULL OF CORRUPT AND HEARTLESS POLITICIANS…
