A TWEET saying "fafda" posted by the Presidential Communications sparked reactions on social media Friday, August 18, with netizens saying that this may be the Filipino version of President Donald Trump's "covfefe."
At 1:07 p.m. Friday, the Presidential Communications posted "fafda" on Twitter. It had garnered 21 retweets and 29 likes before it was taken down seven minutes later.
Here are some of the posts on Twitter:
The Presidential Communications is the twitter handle of the Presidential Communications Office (PCOO) run by Secretary Martin Andanar.
Last week, another government run communications agency, the Philippine News Agency (PNA), received flak from netizens for the use of a wrong logo in a labor department story.
Few days before this incident, the agency was also criticized for publishing an editorial hitting the West Philippine Sea arbitration that was written by China's Xinhua News Agency.
With the bloops, Andanar warns to throw erring editors to Jolo or Basilan.
