Once again, VP Leni has found herself the target of harsh online criticism. This time, it was after she made a remark during a Facebook live briefing for her office’s COVID-19 initiatives. In the video, she was explaining how the nurses had a hard time finding her “nerve” for IV insertion. It was an innocent mistake but many had the nerve to see this as their cue to attack (pun intended).

 

Online trolls have a field day

Keyboard warriors were quick to jump on the chance to dunk on the vice president for her lack of knowledge in the medical field. The timeline got scientific for a second. Nerves are part of the body’s nervous system and are composed of neurons that transmit signals to our brains. Veins, on the other hand, are part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood to the heart. Ergo, what VP Leni should’ve said were veins. But while she did make a mistake, it wasn’t critical nor did it deserve to be magnified. And yet online trolls treated it as if she pocketed P15 billion of OVP funding.

 

Supporters defend the VP

While VP Leni had a barrage of hate comments on her tail for that nerve vs vein issue, her supporters also came to the rescue. Some compared issues thrown at VP Leni over the years to the issues of other presidential aspirants. Others reiterated that people make mistakes and the VP’s shouldn’t even be made into a big deal.

 

VP Leni only has one reaction: Lols

What does the VP herself have to say about the whole thing? Four letters — “Lols.” (As in the acronym for “laughing out loud.”) She replied to a supporter’s tweet that mentioned how lawyers might need the help of doctors to avoid making mistakes such as nerves vs veins.

“Kaming mga abogado hindi kami masyado pamilyar sa bahagi ng mga katawan tulad ng nerves at veins, kaya kumukuha kami witness na doctor kung yan ang involve sa kaso, pero kami alam na alam namin kung sinu MAGNANAKAW, ADDICT, NAMEMEKE, bahagi yan ng aming pagaaral at trabaho,” read the tweet she replied to.

 

VP Leni to someone who believes in fake news: “Naku kawawa ka naman!”

Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t VP Leni’s only battle with haters for the week. Recently, she also had a sassy response to a comment she encountered during the same Facebook live. It was left by a certain Quizon and referenced VP Leni’s “failed mathematics” on the rising prices of commodities in 2018.

“Si Quizon rin naku naniniwala to sa fake news, ayan. 40 x 4 Ma’am is 1,600. Nako Quizon, naniniwala ka sa fake news. Spliced po yung video na ‘yon. 40 x 4 x 10 is equal to 1,600. Naku kawawa ka naman.”

 

She also recently rebutted fake news about her daughters skipping quarantine

Last January 5, VP Leni posted screenshots of malicious people on Facebook accusing her daughters of skipping quarantine after coming back from abroad. She clarified that her three daughters spent five days at a quarantine hotel. When one of them, Tricia, tested positive, she was transferred to an isolation facility and was only released after testing negative for three days straight. Her two other daughters, Aika and Jillian, tested negative but continued their home quarantine.

“Sinasadya nalang talaga mag sinungaling dahil may mga napapaniwala. This is already criminal and malicious,” ended VP Leni.

 

Remains focused on her job

It’s 2022 and online trolls are still stronger than ever. But VP Leni proves she is more than unbothered — she’s focused. With cases rapidly rising and the omicron variant threatening to collapse our healthcare again, the vice president has a lot on her hands. She brought back Swab Cabs to test those in key cities in the metro. VP Leni’s team is also busy with their free telemedicine initiative, Bayanihan E-Konsulta. All that while preparing for her Halalan 2022 campaign.

VP Leni is a busy woman but she makes sure to address the nonsense around her and keep things clear. She will probably never get rid of these trolls for the rest of her life but we rest assured she remains unbothered and flourishing.
