Got interviewed today about the election protests filed at the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET). My views on those protests can be found HERE.
Here’s the thing tho.’ After the interview this afternoon, I find on my Twitter timeline that @inquirerdotnet had re-tweeted @kristinealave.
inquirerdotnet2:46pm via TweetDeckRT @kristinealave: Comelec’s @jabjimenez : Poll protests at HRET “fishing expeditions” by people “who could not imagine that they lost.”
I immediately tweeted my clarification, but just to make sure that the rectification resides also in a medium less transient than Twitter, I replied:

@inquirerdotnet @kristinealave didn’t say all. i said those that merely rely on reports of mishaps (e.g., flashcard errors) COULD BE fishng
@inquirerdotnet @kristinealave second half of statement you’re attributing to me is taken out of context. …
@inquirerdotnet @kristinealave I said ‘there will always be protests because there will always be people who cannot imagine that they lost.’
To its credit, @inquirerdotnet immediately re-tweeted my clarifications.
