- Social media user Renee Karunungan campaigning against Duterte was bullied by Duterte supporters
- Over 200 supporters messaged her on Facebook threatening and wishing her bad
- Karunungan posted screenshots of these strongly-written messages on her Facebook
Another dissenter of Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential bid has been a victim of his online supporters.
Facebook user Renee Julienne Karunungan on Thursday posted on her page screenshots of Duterte supporters threatening her and wishing bad scenarios for her.
Karunungan, a climate advocate, earlier wrote on her Facebook page that she is campaigning against the Davao Mayor.
She said on her post dated March 22, “I don’t know who to vote for but I know who I’m NOT voting for. I am actively campaigning AGAINST Duterte.”
This was a caption to an image she shared that says “Duterte is a lazy choice. No one man can solve the problem. Discipline come from ourselves.”
Her sentiment earned wild criticisms from raging Duterte fans. The screenshots were collected in an album she also shared on Facebook.
A lot of the mad fans called her stupid and pretending to know something. One comment went too far as describing her as “utak daga”. [rat brain]
Other frustrated ones even wished for her to be raped.
“I can’t believe people wish other people to be raped and murdered because of stating one’s opinion,” Karunungan wrote in the description of her album.
As of posting, the album has received at least 12,000 impressions and has reached almost 4,000 shares.
This is not the first time a person who is not supporting Duterte is bullied by his online crowd.
Last month, a student from the University of the Philippines – Los Baños was declared dead by social media users after he pushed Duterte to answer questions directly so that he can already go home.
