In an article by Rigoberto Tiglao on Inquirer 7 years ago, he exposed how the Aquino administration used people's Facebook name and fabricated email address for them to be used to send fake letters to the editor to vilify those critical of his actions and policies, sources disclosed to this writer. These letters started since the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona started in December.

He mentioned an article that was published by an editor that is maligning him. When he looked further, he found out that the letter's supposed sender is Shyril Chloe Quirod, who in a quick scroll on Facebook, is obviously an active social media user.
However, what seemed off is that the letter used deep words such as "confrere", whereas a look at Quirod's profile will tell you that she is a simple girl who posts statuses in Tagalog.
"Quirod has a very active Facebook account, which shows her to be a teen-aged high-schooler from Batasan Hills National High School. Her postings there, mostly in Filipino, are about stuff young girls post in their FBs—“Ang pangit ng buhok ko!!!!” “Lol, I found the meaning of my name!”"

Tiglao exposed the number of letters that were sent badmouthing them.
"There were nine published letters to the editor bad-mouthing Doronila. Seven are fictitious. There have been 12 letters which were vicious in maligning Corona, and expect more as the trial resumes in May. Google the authors, you get zero results. They don’t exist. Any veteran editor would also easily discern that these letters’ writing style is the same, with certain editorial tics and all with a black-and-white ethos and a vitriolic tone."
Admittedly, never have an administration stoop down like that to send sham letters to subvert the press and even their so-called pride, the democracy of the Philippines.
