The official Facebook Page of the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson (OPS) was caught trolling members of the media during a televised “Mindanao Hour” news briefing in Malacañang on Friday. “Lourd Devera” refers to Lourd de Veyra, a musician, writer, and TV news anchor. In a statement, Palace spokesman Ernesto Abella clarified the comment made on Facebook by his official Facebook page. “The aforementioned comment was written by a former administrator of the page who is no longer connected with the Office,” Abella said. Abella said “the OPS Team immediately acted on the situation by removing the former Administrator’s access to the page and restricting page roles.”
