TWITTER FIGHTS FOR THEIR RIGHT

Sen. Cynthia Villar trends after saying unlimited rice promos must be banned


A good-humored “how dare her” might as well be Filipino Twitter’s collective reaction to Senator Cynthia Villar’s well-intended suggestion of banning unlimited rice promos.

The Senator, who heads the Committee on Agriculture and Food is among the Top 5 trends on Twitter, thanks to Filipino netizens fighting for their right to, well, eat unli rice.

A quick-witted netizen swiftly made a parody account of Mang Inasal, and replied to a GMA News tweet, prompting others to do the same. It resulted in a funny thread of parody restaurant accounts.

At a hearing on rice production and consumption Wednesday, Villar said unlimited rice promos at restaurants should be banned, suggesting people eat more vegetables instead.
