Youth group Millennials Against Dictators [MAD] on Wednesday filed before the Ombudsman an ethics complaint against Secretary of Justice Vitaliano Aguirre for 'repeatedly making false accusations and allegations' and his 'refusal to take responsibility for his actions'.
The complaint also seeks Aguirre's removal from office.
Factory of fake news
"Aguirre is a factory of fake news", declared Shamah Bulangis, one of the complainants.
According to the complaint, Aguirre on June 7, 2017 made it appear in a press conference that Senators Bam Aquino, Antonio Trillanes as well as Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano and former Aquino administration political adviser Ronald Llamas were connected to the recent Marawi crisis.
He also alleged on February 23, that some embassy officials had been compromised by the Korean mafia and that the latter was involved in the killing of South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo.
In both cases, Aguirre refused to take responsibility for his false statements despite being called out in public, according to Bulangis.
Lying through gritted teeth
"Aguirre lies through gritted. He knows that. We want to send a message that this government must stop lying", quipped Karla Yu of MAD.
The complaint was also filed by Andrei Buendia of the Ateneo Debate Society, Anna Mercaldi of the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines, Fatima Tolentino and Nikki Nicolas of the San Beda College of Law Student Government, Julie Corridor of UP Diliman University Student Council, sociology student Rae Emmanuel Echaveria and Jonna Roldan of the De La Salle University-Manila.
