There have been a lot of nasty things written in cyberspace about Aquino and his administration. Of course it affects the ongoing campaigns for 2013 because it counters all the government's good claims. That's why BS Aquino expedited the cybercrime law w/o public hearings and the regular protocols for passing laws. He simply signed it into law no matter how raw and unrefined it was. It was meant to scare and shut up his critics. Kalbo na nga, pikon pa.
