“DON’T worry we won’t let this one pass. They know my address.”
This was Liza Soberano’s response to a netizen who urged her not to let a rape threat just slip off and go unnoticed.
The issue stemmed from a tweet by Soberano dated Sept. 6 where she complained about the internet service provided by a particular telecommunications company.
She also described them as “unprofessional” because they supposedly weren’t answering any of her calls.
On Sept. 8, Soberano wrote an update: “Okay so PLDT came to my house yesterday and hooked me up with the best internet I have ever experienced in my whole 5 years of living in this house. 300 MBPS. What a lifesaver. Lag? I don’t know her.”
The following day, Soberano said she stumbled upon a few tweets from people who were upset and found her tweet about having fast internet offensive.
Following her posts, it reached Soberano’s attention that there was an alleged Converge employee who supposedly made a rape comment against her.
The actress herself retweeted a screen capture of the said remark on her Twitter feed which says: “Wala tayong magagawa, wala ng trabaho, kaya ‘di bale ng masira ang image, magkapera lang. Sarap ipa-rape sa mga…. ewan!”
Meanwhile, Converge posted a statement on their Facebook page on Monday.
“Converge said they are “currently dealing with this matter and we will carry out disciplinary measures accordingly.”(ABS-CBN)
